Key Structures That Guide Our Mission and Operations
Our Main Organs
KINGFO management and organizational structure consists of three crucial parts namely the AGM, the Executive Committee and the Secretariat, each with an important role to play. The AGM is the supreme decision making body of the organization, the EC is the policy making organ of the organization and the Secretariat is the implementing arm of the organization. The above structures are guided by well- developed policy instruments as they execute their duties such as the strategic plan, AWB, the constitution, the finance and administration policy, the human resource policy, intern/volunteer policy/BoD manual and an internal control system among others.
