Our commitments to and expectations of the individual stakeholders are as follows:

We will provide a supportive and safe environment to enable staff and associates to contribute in a collaborative manner to the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization.

We will ensure that all approved projects have efficient project management and monitoring mechanisms in place with clear accountabilities. We will be approachable and accessible when needed to provide guidance to grantees and partners in the conduct of projects or programme implementation.

Programmes and Projects selected through transparent grant making processes should engage with key stakeholders and facilitate high levels of involvement of and impact on beneficiaries through strategic implementation and proper management and oversight and a shared commitment in achieving results.
