| Organizational structure: |
PAWLA has a well structured system of governance (see Organogram), financial policy/procedures, constitution, a well defined five year strategic plan and an internal control system thereby placing PAWLA in a way that can ensure efficient project management. PAWLA also has in place an efficient board of trustees that gives policy direction to the organisation. PAWLA is governed by a 5-member Board of Trustees who serve on volunteer basis and meet quarterly to review progress of activities. They also take decisions which mainly consist of contractual agreements with partners, review of emoluments of top officials, recruitment of a new chief executive officer (should the need arise) and other matters of interests.
The day-to-day administration of PAWLA is under the direct responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer supported by a staff of 14 of which 7 are permanent and 7 are part time, supported by 7 staff volunteers – both local and foreign nationals. There are also resident community volunteers, dubbed PAWLA Rural Volunteers (PRVs), who also assist in the implementation of programmes at the community level.
PAWLA has a motivated staff that has a good sense of urgency toward project delivery.
Due to quality recruitment system, PAWLA can boast of competent staff (Human Resource) well positioned with the requisite capacity building for project implementation. PAWLA field workers are competent and well trained to execute the projects. PAWLA staff were participants of the Upper West regional master trainers and such other training programmes. |
