Governance

Donors and government oversight agencies increasingly hold boards of directors accountable for how nonprofits are governed. They demand assurance that the organizations are well governed, and effective and efficient service providers.

Nonprofit organizations achieve these goals if their boards of directors understand and accept their fiduciary roles as the governing body of the organizations they serve. Good boards ensure that organizations:

Are accountable to the community
Provide needed services
Adhere to rigorous ethical and professional standards
Are compliant

Strategic planning 
We define strategic planning as the process of identifying an organization’s long-term goals and objectives and then determining the best approach for achieving those goals and objectives. Simply put, strategic planning determines where an organisation is going over the next year or more, how it will get there and how it will know if it got there or not.

We offer interventions according to the following strategic planning process:


  • The need and the response (external analysis)
