Organizational Development at the NHQ and Branch

Organizational Development will focus on strengthening governance and management to ensure the capacity in ownership:

    · For governance:    To strengthen and enhance leadership skills at all levels so that ownership will be enhanced.

     · For management: To enforce the application of the Cooperation Agreement Strategy so that CRC will take the lead in its        cooperation with partners. Additionally, to strengthen cooperation with authorities at all levels and organizations beyond the           Red Cross for project implementation.

       To enhance trust and confidence from everyone by surveying public perception; to continue the strengthening of financial        management, the monitoring and evaluation (and internal audit), the effective implementation of legal documents and to take into        account recommendations given by people from all walks of life.

Uniting to continue promotion of the Movement’s principles and humanitarian values

Participation by all projects/programs is very important in ensuring effectiveness and success in this area of activity in order to develop more community projects, which are crucial for releasing people’s sufferings and promoting humanitarian values. Consequently, the strengthening of the Red Cross Volunteer network is critical.

Strengthening all aspect of work to ensure sustainability of projects/programs and existing activities

This is the streamlining of all programs/projects so that they can support each other, and in sustaining the activities and in replication to other target areas. It is therefore important that every project/program manager has adequate capacity to absorb donor support and in designing program activities so that the needs of those who call for help can be gradually addressed.
