Good intentions alone are not enough to run an effective humanitarian organization.
Strong governance helps protect the mission, charitable resources, beneficiaries, donors, employees, and long-term integrity of the organization.
Salam Horizon is governed through a framework designed to provide oversight, responsible decision-making, financial stewardship, and accountability.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors provides organizational oversight and helps safeguard Salam Horizon's mission and charitable purpose.
Its responsibilities include oversight of areas such as:
Strategy and organizational direction
Financial stewardship
Policies and governance
Risk management
Executive oversight
Legal and ethical compliance
Protection of charitable assets
Management
Management is responsible for translating organizational strategy into operations and overseeing programs, fundraising, finance, compliance, communications, partnerships, and other organizational functions.
Separation of Oversight & Management
Effective governance requires clarity between Board oversight and day-to-day management.
This separation helps strengthen accountability and reduce the risk of inappropriate concentration of authority.
Conflict of Interest
Directors and relevant decision-makers are expected to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest.
Individuals with a material conflict should not improperly influence decisions in which they have a personal or financial interest.
