Our organization is well structured and able to respond to all mandatory requirements. NORSAAC has 9 members constituting its board who have two term mandate of three years each and were nominated to the board taking in to consideration their backgrounds and professions to facilitate effective operations of the organization. There exists 39 full time staff including a four (4) member management team and 9 member Extended Management Team. We have 8 part- times staff who are consistently given allowance to assist effective implementation of interventions and smooth running of the office. Norsaac standard for good organizational governance is embedded in its constitution, Human Resource Manual and Financial Manual. The documents clearly outlined levels of authority from board of directors’ level to our beneficiary communities. The existence of authorization levels in the management team guide prudent use of resources and its been described by many of external auditors as a good governance system that can ensure accountability. The UNDP assessment of organizations in the Northern region of Ghana in 2010 rated Norsaac as one of the most organized organizations in the region filing annual returns to registrar general and also renewing its certificates annually. This is possible because of the governance system in place to ensure transparency and accountability to all the structures in the organization. |
