Organisational Management:

The constitution of USSA has given the supreme authority of the organization to the General Board (GB) with 21 members who approve the annual budgets and have elected management committee which consists of 07 members who approve the quarterly budgets & facilitate the overall management of the organization. The day to day running of the organization is overseen by the Executive Director with the assistance on the Program Management Cell (PMC). The Program Management Cell (PMC) consists of the heads of department of the organization such as administrative and accounting sections. The Program Management Cell (PMC) meeting regularly held (normally once in a week) to discuss critical issues, policy and to make recommendations to the Executive Committee (EC) for their approval. The Program Management Cell (PMC) implements the decisions of the Executive Committee (EC) and develops plans for running the program activities.

There is a further layer of management, predominately comprising Field Organizers under the Branch Office; Each Branch Office is led by a Branch Manager under supervision of Program Coordinator with a jurisdiction of Branch Office. At this level the management is decentralized with each of the Branch Managers located at individual Branch Office. The Branch Managers are responsible for the implementation of the program in their respective area and are delegated to take most of the planned decisions. The PMC meet with the Branch Managers monthly Co-ordination meeting.

USSA’s organizational structure has been updated to reflect both its new strategy and also to assist with the development of good management and leadership practices. The new structure has been designed to accommodate the growth that is planned during the next 5 years. This diagram reflects the intended structure of the organization for the entire program implementation period although the numbers of staff shown are for the end of the period.
