Governance, Development and Peace Building

ISDP upholds strong governance and operational systems to ensure accountability, transparency, and institutional integrity in all its activities. The organization has established clear reporting lines, internal controls, and a comprehensive risk management framework to strengthen compliance, enable effective audits, and ensure timely information sharing. These measures reinforce ISDP’s commitment to maintaining high ethical standards and operational excellence in line with national and international best practices.

ISDP operates under a structured governance system comprising a Board of Directors and an Executive Management Team. The Board of Directors serves as the highest decision-making body, providing strategic oversight, policy direction, and performance monitoring. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the head of the organization and leads the Executive Management Team, overseeing all programs and operations in alignment with the Board’s directives. Under the CEO, the Programme Manager ensures technical and operational coordination across all projects, promoting quality assurance, efficiency, and adherence to donor and national standards.

ISDP’s Support Services Department, consisting of Human Resources, Finance, and Logistics and Procurement units, plays a vital role in maintaining organizational efficiency and accountability. These departments support effective budgeting, compliance, staff development, procurement, and logistics, ensuring smooth program delivery. The five-member Board of Directors brings diverse expertise in governance, finance, humanitarian response, and development management, ensuring that ISDP’s governance remains evidence-based, transparent, and responsive to community needs.
