Organization
When Cathy Groenendijk founded CCC in 2007, she was the main power driving the daily activities of the organization. Throughout the years, Cathy, the Executive Director, was blessed to have highly committed volunteers around her to execute the daily activities of CCC.
As the needs of OVCs in Juba increase, CCC will undergo a transitional phase of growth and professionalization of its organization.
At the end of 2011 there is not enough money to invest in qualified and paid personnel. Happily, although funds are limited with small volunteer allowances, crucial management positions now are well occupied for 2012. Together with, again voluntary, external consultancy support, there is enough involvement to give a boost to the organization and its professional standards.
Moreover CCC managed to recruit several South Sudanese staff that, either voluntarily or with a small allowance to execute activities directly with the OVCs or in communities.
Part of the strategy for 2012 is professionalizing the organizational structure as well as building the capacity of local staff to take up an increasing the amount of (management) responsibility.
In November 2011 management meetings were held to focus on the near future, as one of the results an Annual Plan was born and will be completed in January 2012. Some decisions are already made about responsibilities and meeting structure.
The Executive Director (ED) will step down on most operational activities to dedicate her time to important issues as governance structure, strategy, networking, lobbying and advocacy. Next to the ED there will be 3 Departments.
Together with the official start of the Child Friendly Center on January 1st (access to water and security are the last parts to be arranged) the new Child Friendly Center Manager (CM) will be mainly in charge of operations and daily activities (and Manager of Child Workers).
The Program Development Manager (PM) will handle content i.e. policy on education, training and capacity building and 'supervision' and Manager of Community Mobilizers, GBV Officer, Child Protection Officer and Education Officer.
The PR and Grants Manager (GM) will be responsible for all external relations including communications and fundraising. Teamwork and exploiting ones strengths will be important in 2012.
Each Department will produce a detailed Department Plan (DP) in Q1/2012, tuned with the other Departments. In 2012 a new planning procedure is introduced which means the DP will be ready in Q4/2012 to be integral part of the Annual Plan 2013.
A new accounting system from 1st of January 2012 will be operated to make it possible to report in a consistent, transparent way. Also the Human Resources Management and Communication department, external and internal, will get more emphasis.
