Wings of Aid & Peace (WAP) seeks to maintain an organizational structure that supports responsible governance, effective management and quality humanitarian programming.
Our structure is intended to clarify responsibilities, strengthen accountability and enable programme and support functions to work together in pursuit of WAP's humanitarian mission.
Governance provides the highest level of institutional direction and oversight within WAP's approved governance arrangements.
Its role is to support the organization's mission and institutional integrity through appropriate strategic direction, oversight and accountability.
Governance responsibilities may include oversight of:
Governance oversight is distinct from routine day-to-day management.
Executive management is responsible for translating approved organizational direction into operational priorities, programmes, systems and activities within delegated responsibilities.
Management provides coordination between institutional priorities and day-to-day implementation.
Its responsibilities include, as applicable:
Clear delegation and reporting arrangements help connect authority with responsibility.
Programme functions translate WAP's humanitarian mission into interventions designed around identified needs and appropriate contextual analysis.
Depending on approved programmes and operational capacity, WAP's programme framework supports work across:
Programme functions work with communities and relevant organizational departments throughout assessment, planning, implementation, monitoring, accountability and learning.
Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) supports WAP in understanding programme progress, results, community perspectives and opportunities for improvement.
MEAL functions may support:
MEAL should work closely with programme teams while maintaining appropriate attention to evidence quality and accountability.
Finance functions support responsible stewardship of WAP's financial resources.
Their responsibilities may include appropriate:
Financial responsibilities should operate within approved policies, delegated authorities and internal-control arrangements.
Human Resources supports WAP in recruiting, managing and developing people according to organizational requirements and applicable policies.
HR responsibilities may include:
Human-resource systems should promote professionalism, fairness, accountability and appropriate confidentiality.
Humanitarian programmes depend on effective operational support.
Procurement, logistics and administrative functions help ensure that goods, services, assets and operational resources are acquired, managed and used responsibly.
Responsibilities may include:
Appropriate segregation of responsibilities and internal controls should help protect organizational resources and strengthen accountability.
Humanitarian work may take place in complex and changing environments.
WAP seeks to ensure that appropriate responsibilities exist for identifying and managing risks affecting people, programmes, resources and operations.
Relevant risk areas may include:
Risk information should be communicated to appropriate decision-makers and reviewed as circumstances change.
Communications functions support accurate and responsible engagement with communities, stakeholders and the public.
WAP seeks to ensure that public communications respect:
Public claims about results, partners, funding or institutional achievements should be based on approved and verifiable information.
Where WAP establishes approved field or operational structures, these should connect to the organization's wider management and accountability arrangements.
Field structures may coordinate programme delivery, community engagement and operational support according to approved responsibilities and the needs of each operating context.
The level of publicly available information about field structures, personnel and locations may be limited where security, safeguarding or privacy considerations require it.
Clear accountability requires more than an organizational chart.
WAP seeks to ensure that roles are supported by appropriate:
Terms of Reference and Job Descriptions : Clarifying responsibilities and expected functions.
Delegated Authorities : Defining who is authorized to make particular decisions.
Reporting Lines : Establishing appropriate management and oversight relationships.
Policies and Procedures : Providing organizational requirements for key activities.
Internal Controls : Helping protect resources and strengthen responsible decision-making.
Performance and Management Review : Providing opportunities to assess implementation and address identified issues.
Governance Oversight Maintaining appropriate institutional review of significant responsibilities and risks.
An organizational chart shows how functions are connected. Effective organizational structure goes further—it clarifies responsibility, strengthens coordination and makes accountability possible. WAP seeks to maintain a structure capable of supporting its people, programmes and institutional responsibilities as the organization continues to develop.
