| AISA’S programmatic work directly mirrors
its organisational structure in that its operational activities
consist of promotion and advocacy work, the provision of technical
support regarding the design and implementation of non-financial
accountability systems, and research.
As an enabler for optimum operational impact,
AISA emphasises its need for ongoing and dedicated institutional
development. As a demonstration of its commitment, AISA has
implemented its own performance management system (non-financial
accountability system) and anchors this in effective governance.
