Management Tasks. There are a number of important start-up and Year 1 management tasks required to address certain regulatory compliance and reporting issues. These include development and orientation of all key staff and partners on Family Planning Compliance, training requirements and use of the USAID TraiNet reporting system, submission of PMP data and evidence over the CRC web-based system, 508 Compliance for all documents that will be posted on the web or sent to the USAID clearinghouse, on the branding and marking plan, and administrative and fiscal policies and procedures. For each of these compliance areas, the BALANCED Project will develop specific internal standard operating procedures that conform to the overall guidance provided in various USAID administrative circulars and guidelines.
Management Tasks. 3.1. Subject at all time to the provisions of the Shareholders Agreement, (a) the Board of Directors shall have the widest powers of management of the Company, and (b) the Board of Directors shall have the authority to decide on all matters which are not delegated to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and/or Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, as the Executive Officers of the Company, or reserved to the Shareholders at the General Meeting or other bodies of the Company;
Management Tasks. In Year 2, the BALANCED team worked hard to increase the number of capacity building events, to increase the number of organizations interested in and willing to integrate family planning into their on-going conservation and health projects, to disseminate PHE documents through a variety of media and assess the benefits of PHE programs through applied field-based research. Members of the BALANCED team who provide technical assistance and capacity building in the field, took again—as a refresher— the online USAID family planning compliance course. They also developed a checklist for monitoring compliance in field activities. They monitor compliance as part of each field visit and then submit the monitoring forms/information to CRC. In Year 3, the Project Director will continue to monitor family planning compliance in BALANCED field sites and note any areas in which the process for monitoring of compliance could be improved. For all training activities, TraiNet forms were completed and sent to CRC for inclusion into the USAID TraiNet system. USAID recently changed/added to TraiNet procedures and the CRC staff will undertake training in these changes in the Fall of 2010 and make any modifications to their process, procedures and forms to ensure full compliance with these changes. In Year 2, PFPI was trained on 508 compliance and the Project Director received mentoring on 508 compliance when problems arose. Staff at the CRC home office in RI will continue to provide backstopping support in TraiNet, branding, and 508 compliance —helping to ensure the Project complies with federal and USAID-specific administrative regulations and guidelines. While it has taken time for the full BALANCED team to become skilled in making documents (publications, presentations, etc.) 508 compliant, the team is becoming quite adept at this process and does not anticipate problems moving ahead as it generates more and more tools, publications, etc.
Management Tasks. In Year 1, Project key staff received a basic introduction to the U.S. Federal Agency TraiNet reporting system, to USAID Branding requirements and to 508 compliance regulations and guidelines. In Year 2, the number of Project trainings conducted and the number of documents produced will increase significantly—providing opportunities for staff to gain increased familiarity with the requirements of and hone their skills in these areas. Staff at the CRC home office in RI will provide backstopping support in TraiNet, branding, and 508 compliance— helping to ensure the Project complies with federal and USAID-specific administrative regulations and guidelines.
