Project Management

Noolaham Foundation has adopted an integrated approach to project development and management. Projects are broadly classified as Program related and Operations related. All Program projects are carried out by an integrated team of staff and volunteers across geographic offices and Chapters as appropriate. Chapters are able to undertake resource mobilization and outreach related activities on their own, but not program related activities. This arrangement is needed to ensure to avoid duplication and bring an integrated focus to the Noolaham Foundation program. All of Noolaham Foundation projects must be towards achieving its mission and objectives and in accordance with its guiding principles, strategy, policies and standards. Even if external funding is not available, Noolaham Foundation has a duty to balance underrepresented voices and communities in its projects. A participatory and collaborative approach is used at all stages of the projects with all stakeholders. All project activities undertaken by volunteers and staff from the initial stages must be done transparently. Specifically, if volunteers or staff outreach potential collaborators or vice versa, she/he must inform via the Initiatives & Proposal Writing thread regarding the interaction.
