Organizational structure: |
We have a small headquarters in Bunia, the capital of Ituri. The staff at headquarters is kept as small as possible. PIRD operates its own small farm and more activities are being planned to keep our headquarters self-sustained. This enables us to plan the projects without administrative and staff costs for the headquarters in the project-budgets.
Separate from the ( permanent ) headquarters we set up the necessary organizations for the programs and projects. This is done on a case by case basis. Of course capable managers and specialists are , after completion of programs/projects , being re-assigned to new activities as much as possible. |
Number and type of members: |
Our international volunteers all work completely unpaid. Of course not everyone from the local staff in DRC can work voluntary/unpaid, because most people in DRC cannot afford this. Our president Espérance Kugonza, however, works unpaid as well, which shows the commitment and integrity of our organisation. |
