D. EXPERTISE AND OPERATIONAL CAPACITY 

D.1. The founders 

KCDA was founded by group graduates who acquired numerous experience in working with INGOs, NGOs and other government institutions. The development minded South Sudanese nationals encouraged themselves to start their own National NGOs to strengthen the national capacities and create jobs for themselves and other South Sudanese. They considered KCDA to be of great importance for the coming years as the Republic of South Sudan (ROSS) aims recover from the senseless fights which send thousands to refugee, other internationally displaced and many are killed. This is a better example to other intellectuals to come together and build national capacity at different levels to avoid dependency on International NGOs. KCDA will always strive at working closely with concerned line ministries in project locations and at the head office level. 

D.2.Governing body 

KCDA works in the context of Good Governance with a General Assembly and founders acting as a Supervisory Board and a Senior Management Team, in which the team of directors functions as an Executive Board (Board of Directors). The Senior Management Team is responsible for running the business of KCDA. The Senior Management team consist of Executive Director, Program Manager, Finance Manager, Human Resource Manager and Operations Manager. The Supervisory Board supervises the quality of the board to fulfil the mission and vision of KCDA. In this context the Supervisory Board functions as an employer of the Directors. The Supervisory Board also acts as sounding board/advisor for the entire Management Team and for each board member separately.  

D.3. Justification for the project  

A strong understanding of the requirements and needs is a vital component of any Comprehensive project. The association founders and the entire management  has use the reports  in order to identify where there is the direst need, where the gaps are in current initiatives and what is required to fill these gaps. The beneficiaries know very well about the burden and the dare need as we are expecting the return of the refugees. KCDA is the answer to the devastating impact on family welfare, challenging a toll on girl child school attendance and the health of the entire community.   

D.4. Monitoring and evaluation plan 

Monitoring each of the interventions will be considered as separate projects in every 6 months of the project implementation. The Project will have common actions related to training, the interventions will be monitored separately based on the scope of each project and their respective implementation schedules. The association, through technical support from the government specialist(s) assigned to assist the project(s) will oversee the different stages of implementation and reporting.   Evaluation according to the nature of the entire project, which comprises several separate interventions implemented, the possible project evaluation would be undertaken through project monitoring at each step of completion.   At the end of the project, the association, County and the state government will conduct a technical and financial review in the aim of establishing a record of lessons learned, specifically concerning the massive water treatments made through reverse which could provide a model for project replication.
