Operational leadership is provided by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who steers the overall vision, ensures cross-sectoral alignment, and oversees the organization’s mission execution across all programmatic domains. Under the CEO are four Program Managers, each heading a core thematic pillar:

1.  Policy Advocacy and Civic Engagement
2.  Community Empowerment and Capacity Building
