Abstract
APC is implemented by JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. in collaboration with FHI 360. The project focuses on promoting and supporting community-based programs aimed at improving global community health and addressing related health issues, particularly family planning. APC provides global direction for community-based programming, executes and manages small and medium sub-awards, supports procurement reform by preparing sub-awards for USAID signature, and strengthens technical capacity of organizations for effective program implementation. APC's governance structure is designed to ensure effective management and oversight of the project. The organization's vision and mission statements are key components of its governance framework. The vision statement outlines APC's aspirations and goals, while the mission statement describes its purpose and activities. APC's organizational structure is divided into several departments, including governance, human resources, program management, and finance. APC's governance framework is guided by several key principles, including transparency, accountability, and participation. The organization's leadership is committed to ensuring that its programs and activities are aligned with its vision and mission. APC's governance structure includes a board of directors, which provides strategic guidance and oversight, and a management team, which is responsible for implementing the organization's programs and activities. APC's human resources department is responsible for managing the organization's workforce, including recruitment, training, and development. The department also oversees APC's volunteer and internship programs, which provide opportunities for individuals to gain experience and contribute to the organization's mission. APC's program management department is responsible for designing and implementing the organization's programs, including community-based initiatives and research projects. APC's finance department is responsible for managing the organization's financial resources, including budgeting, accounting, and reporting. The department also oversees APC's procurement and contracting processes, ensuring that all transactions are transparent and compliant with USAID regulations. APC's governance framework includes several key policies and procedures, including a code of conduct, a conflict of interest policy, and a whistleblower policy. APC's evaluation of organizational capacity (OCA) is a critical component of its governance framework. The OCA process assesses APC's motivation and stability by examining its guiding principles, structure, and governance mode. The evaluation includes a review of APC's vision and mission statements, as well as a survey of its personnel and board of directors. The OCA process provides APC with a comprehensive understanding of its strengths and weaknesses, enabling the organization to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies for enhancing its capacity.
