Institutional Governance

Programmatic strategies and guidelines

Management policies

The mandatory policies of HEKS/EPER emphasize principles, regulations, and procedures by laying down the course of the organization’s actions, streamlining processes and providing hands-on tools for staff and partners to deliver high-quality adaptive management. The key documents are the FFAG (Field Financial and Administration Guidelines) together with the annexed code of conduct, and the PCM (Project/Programme Cycle Management), both containing clear standards and procedures which contracted staff and partner organizations have to comply with. All policies ensure good institutional governance, especially covering the topics of corruption, misuse/abuse of power, PSEAH (Prevention of Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment), and how HEKS/EPER does report, learn, and adapt to it.

Reports, factsheets and evaluations

Our reports are transparent and serve mutual accountability towards donors and project participants; documenting evidence for progress, effectivity, sustainability, and impact. However, we also set forth on how we follow-up on projects and programmes collecting and analysing quantitative and qualitative data with professional monitoring tools such as the digital data system, and do evaluations and scientific impact assessments. All in order to learn and to steer our activities for the benefit of people and communities.
