Support Services
Financial Management
For the past three years all procurement and
disbursement have been managed by the international
accounting firm of Price Waterhouse Coopers under
contract to NaCSA. This arrangement has been extended
to 31 December 2003 by which time an internal
Finance Directorate will have been established
at NaCSA. The Finance Directorate will be headed
by a Finance Director recruited internationally
through an international accounting and financial
management services firm.
Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (PM&E)
PM&E has overall responsibility for operational-level
planning and provides advice on coordination.
Its principal task is to monitor programme and
project performance, assess the performance of
implementing and facilitating partners and provide
timely and relevant feedback to NaCSA staff so
that continuous improvements can be made in the
targeting, impact and sustainability of NaCSA-funded
activities.
Information, Education and Communications
(IEC)
The IEC Unit provides information to the public
through the media and by publishing NaCSA's quarterly
newsletter. It helps prepare speeches and power
point presentations, provides technical support
for audio and video presentations and works with
all three NaCSA Programmes to help communicate
development messages more effectively. Such messages
include, for example: information on HIV/AIDS
awareness and behaviour change, the critical role
of maintenance in development, basic nutrition
and the need for greater gender equity for healthy
and developing communities.
Administrative Services
The Executive Secretary heads NaCSA's Administrative
Services Unit. The Unit is responsible for overall
management efficiency; ensuring communications
among NaCSA's 16 offices; the maintenance and
repair of vehicles, generators and other equipment;
determining equipment and furniture needs, office
space allocation, management of support staff
(e.g., secretaries, drivers, messengers, security
guards) and human resource development and performance
appraisal of staff.
