Governance Structure
Four Pillars of Good Governance
Every decision at PWWSD is guided by these core governance principles.
Transparency
We publish annual reports, audited accounts, and board decisions. All stakeholders have access to clear, timely information about our work and finances.
Accountability
Board members are elected, not appointed. We maintain clear lines of responsibility from program teams to the General Assembly, with regular reporting at every level.
Participation
Members and beneficiaries have meaningful voice in our strategy. We conduct annual general assemblies, community consultations, and participatory monitoring processes.
Independence
Our Board operates independently of management. The Audit Committee functions separately from operations, and we maintain strict conflict-of-interest policies for all leadership roles.
Governing Bodies
Each body has a defined role, mandate, and accountability relationship within the overall governance framework.
