ORGANIZATIONALSTRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT
PADETC is managed and operated by all
Lao nationals. At present it has over 50
staff. It is divided into five
departments: two programme units (“Youth
& Development” and “Small & Medium
Enterprises”), one research and
development unit (“Action Research &
Promotion”) and two support units
(Administration & Finance” and “ICT”).
It is supervised by a management
committee, which is headed by the
Director, Mr. Sombath Somphone. The unit
heads are members of this management
committee and meet regularly. Each
member of the committee is given
specific management tasks. All major
activity plans and strategies are
presented for committee approval. Once
approved, the assigned units are
responsible for implementation and
reporting back to the management
committee. The Director is in charge of
setting policies, guiding strategic
options, and resource mobilization.

Apart from the management
committee, each unit organizes
its own monthly meetings to
review progress and adjust
plans. Every three months PADETC
conducts a half day all-staff
meeting. And at the end of each
year all staff participate in a
three-day retreat to review
achievements and challenges of
the previous year and strategize
for the following year. Each
year, PADETC produces an annual
report and its operations are
subjected to an annual external
audit. Every three to four
years, or at the end of a
planning cycle, its programmes
are externally evaluated. The
evaluation report, the annual
reports and the auditor’s
reports are available upon
request by interested parties. |
