HARD’s governance and management structures.
HARD is a membership organisation whose members are drawn from the local communities in Western and Northern Bahr el Ghazal states of Southern Sudan. The members through the general assembly elect their representatives to the board of trustees. Currently HARD has a board of trustees consisting of five members; one woman and four men. The board meets at least twice in year and also when circumstances demand. The board of trustees appoint the Executive Director who is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the organisation. The Executive Director is mandated by the board to appoint other staff of the organisation. The day to day management of the organisation is overseen by the Executive Director and the Management Committee. The Management committee consists of departmental heads and the Executive Director. Field staff who do the actual implementation of the activities are present in all the locations where HARD operates.
