The project named “follow up from organisation review” is being implemented by UNAPD for the period of August 2020 to July 31st 2021. The expected outcome of the project is “Strengthened organization capacity to effectively deliver to its mandate”.
Under the project, UNAPD team is following up on other recommendations of the organization review held in 2019 such as developing a MEL reflecting the organization’s shift from project to program based approach which will play a key role in documentation, learnings and systematic programming, development of the Human resource plan, update the Human Resource manual and also develop a staff diversity strategy which are instrumental in realizing the objectives of the new strategic plan, update of both financial management manual and system in order to be able to respond to the current global developments in financial managements, develop a fundraising and resource mobilization strategy to equip the fundraising team with required skills of writing proposals, and donor relations and strengthen the Board capacity of governance, social accountability and fundraising in order to effectively contribute to the paradigm shift and growth of the organization while improving her visibility and relevance, develop linkages both at national and regional levels to facilitate the program based approach and this may include possibilities of cross-border advocacy work like physical accessibility, inclusive education, disability sports, but also benchmarking on cross-border practical responsive mechanisms to COVID 19 pandemic in the disability sector.
Such intervention will see UNAPD as an institution with enough capacity to manage programs both national and regional level, improve her UNAPD at local, national, regional and international levels after rebranding, membership/stakeholders/partners satisfaction of UNAPD’s work and relevancy, increased opportunities for partnerships at national and regionals for program-based approach.
