Advocacy, Awareness and Sustainable Services (AASS) is governed by a Board of Directors, which provides strategic direction, develops organizational policies, and oversees the implementation of programs and projects. The Board meets on a quarterly basis to review organizational progress, assess program performance, discuss emerging challenges, and provide strategic guidance for future activities.

The Executive Director (ED) is responsible for the overall management and day-to-day operations of AASS. The ED ensures effective coordination among all organizational sections and departments, facilitates communication, and supports the implementation of policies and programs approved by the Board of Directors. The Executive Director also maintains regular coordination with government institutions, civil society organizations (CSOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), development partners, and other relevant stakeholders.

AASS is organized into six key functional units: Programme, Administration, Finance, Human Resources, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), and Fundraising. Each unit is headed by a Manager who is responsible for planning, managing, and supervising activities within their respective areas. Unit Managers work closely with the Executive Director to ensure that programs and organizational functions are implemented effectively, efficiently, and in accordance with approved plans, policies, and procedures.

The Programme Unit is responsible for the planning and implementation of development initiatives and projects, while the Administration Unit manages office operations and logistical support. The Finance Unit oversees financial management, budgeting, accounting, and financial reporting. The Human Resources Unit manages staff recruitment, development, performance, and welfare. The Monitoring and Evaluation Unit tracks progress, measures results, identifies gaps, and supports evidence-based improvements. The Fundraising Unit focuses on resource mobilization, donor engagement, proposal development, and the establishment of strategic partnerships.

The Head Office serves as the central coordination and management hub of AASS. It regularly reviews organizational and programmatic progress, coordinates with government ministries and departments, engages with CSOs and CBOs, and maintains communication with donor agencies and development partners. This structure enables AASS to maintain effective coordination, accountability, and institutional linkages.

To ensure continuous monitoring and effective internal communication, AASS conducts regular weekly and monthly staff meetings. These meetings provide an opportunity to review progress, discuss challenges, coordinate activities, and agree on corrective measures where required. In addition to internal monitoring, AASS also undertakes external evaluations and assessments to identify institutional and programmatic gaps, measure performance, and improve the quality and effectiveness of its interventions.

AASS has also developed and adopted Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to standardize its organizational operations and ensure that all administrative, financial, programmatic, human resource, and other institutional affairs are managed in a transparent, consistent, accountable, and professional manner. These systems and procedures strengthen organizational governance, promote efficiency, and support the effective delivery of AASS’s mission and objectives.
