OUR BOARD/TEAM

Board members act as stewards to the organization, working together to effectively achieve the mission of KAHRDO ORGANIZATION. They provide legal and fiduciary oversight on the organization; play an active role in mobilizing resources for program implementation; set strategic direction in policy; delegate authority and responsibility to management and staff for the day-to-day implementation of the organization’s work. The BOD has appointed various Board Committees that deal with the issues of resource mobilization, audits, human resource management, legal/ethical, and procurement.The Senior Management Team (SMT) have responsibility for the stewardship of program resources, oversee the technical delivery, coordinate the program strategy with the partners and ensure smooth project implementation according to set budgets and targets.

This is conducted through various designated project management teams.

PARTNERSHIP PERSPECTIVE:

We believe that the idea of partnership can hold much as the humanitarian challenges we face increase and become more complex. KAHRDO understands that through partnerships we can contribute our small part and reap the benefits of everyone’s effort; we can accelerate learning and distribute skills and knowledge; and we can add depth and breadth to our community impact. To make real the promise of partnerships, however, KAHRDO is always prepared to build, sustain, and evaluate them in a thoughtful way.

While there are many recognized benefits and advantages to partnership development, the answer to why KAHRDO seeks to establish partnerships is relatively simple. There is added value in working with other organizations. The benefits of effective partnerships do not appear overnight. Establishing effective and inclusive partnerships takes time, and it is important for us to create the right framework from the start and review the structure and process of the partnership on an on-going basis to measure its success or failure.

KAHRDO defines Partnership simply as “a collaborative relationship between entities to work toward shared objectives through a mutually agreed division of labor.”While this working definition may not be very precise, it does help us to distinguish various forms of partnerships and shape KAHRDO approach. KAHRDO always prefers a long term, flexible, and evolving style. During partnerships KAHRDO looks for the opportunity to learn more about effective management, build capacity, and gain valuable experiences in all the sectors we work in. In that sense, partnerships act as learning mechanisms that teach us to be better at what we do and enable us to achieve our goals.
