Organizational Governance

Three-Tier Governance Structure

PARDEP-Nepal's institutional architecture harmonizes three distinct bodies: the General Assembly, the Executive Committee, and the Professional Staff Team. This separation of oversight and execution safeguards organizational transparency, upholds democratic leadership, and ensures disciplined implementation of all approved annual programmes.

The General Assembly represents the organization's ultimate governing body, convening annually to assess institutional direction, audit reports, and policy adherence:

• Approval and endorsement of long-term organizational policy, institutional strategy, and thematic vision.
• Review, evaluation, and endorsement of the preceding fiscal year's programmatic progress and financial expenditure reports.
• Deliberation and formal approval of the annual institutional plan and budget.
• Appointment of an independent chartered/external auditor for mandatory statutory financial audits.

Elected by the General Assembly, the Executive Committee provides ongoing leadership, fiduciary oversight, and strategic guidance:

• Providing strategic leadership, governance oversight, and institutional guidance for organizational policy delivery.
• Formulation, review, and enactment of operational guidelines, administrative codes, and organizational bylaws.
• Active support to the Executive Director in high-level inter-agency coordination, government networking, and institutional partnerships.
• Facilitating donor relations, strategic resource mobilization, and financial sustainability.
