Governance

How Amad is governed

Governance is not a document filed in a drawer. It is a clear separation of powers, independent committees, published disclosure, and a reporting channel that does not pass through whoever might be its subject.

Registration

Statutory particulars

The association is supervised by the competent authority and adheres to the governance regulation issued by the National Center for Non-Profit Sector Development.

Structure

Four layers, with authority that does not overlap

  • The general assembly

    The association’s highest authority. It comprises the eligible members, elects the board, approves the financial statements and annual report, appoints the external auditor, and adopts amendments to the articles of association.

  • The board

    Elected by the general assembly for a fixed term. It sets strategy, approves the plan and budget, appoints the executive director, and monitors performance — without taking on day-to-day operations.

  • The committees

    Six standing committees cover audit and risk, execution, programmes and impact, resource development, nominations and remuneration, and beneficiary safeguarding — reporting to the board or the general assembly according to their remit.

  • The executive

    Runs day-to-day operations and delivers the approved plan within delegated authority, reporting periodically to the board. The governance regulation separates what the board decides from what the executive executes.

The board

Board composition

The board consists of the seats below, elected by the general assembly for a fixed term under the articles of association. Board membership is voluntary and unpaid.
