Board of Directors

The Board serves as the supreme governing authority of TDF. Composed of independent civic leaders, legal specialists, educationists, and community representatives, the Board exercises strict non-executive fiduciary oversight.

• Ratification of annual multi-year strategic plans and operational budgets.
• Independent appointment and performance evaluation of executive management.
• Direct commissioning of external financial audits and safeguarding reviews.
• Maintenance of institutional adherence to Galmudug State non-profit laws.

Executive Management Team

Headquartered at our primary secretariat in Dhuusamareeb, the Executive Team manages day-to-day project operations, community mobilization, procurement, and humanitarian emergency response.

• Direct management of field operations, teaching staff, and contractors.
• Day-to-day administration via the internal TDF-TIMS enterprise database.
• Stakeholder coordination with federal ministries, UN clusters, and local elders.
• Monthly financial reconciliation and dual-signatory disbursement controls.

Community Oversight Committees (COCs)

At each school, madrasa, or borehole site, an independently elected COC (with mandatory 50% women inclusion) maintains grass-roots accountability and acts as a direct watchdog for beneficiary communities.

• Daily monitoring of teacher attendance and classroom conditions.
• Joint verification of delivered humanitarian goods and construction supplies.
• Direct reporting channel to TDF senior leadership bypassing field staff.
• Facilitation of community disputes and protection of school physical assets.

Monitoring

Real-time tracking of student attendance, teacher stipend disbursements, and infrastructure milestones using GPS-tagged logs and internal database validation.

Evaluation

Structured baseline, mid-term, and endline evaluations assessing literacy gains, retention rates, water access quality, and drought resilience indicators.

Accountability

Direct community feedback mechanisms, an encrypted whistleblower channel, and open quarterly town-hall accountability sessions with beneficiaries.

Learning

Institutional reflection workshops translating field challenges into operational improvements, informing subsequent annual work plans and curriculum adaptations.

TDF’s internal operations, student attendance rosters, inventory tracking, and staff stipends are administered through our standalone enterprise portal at tdf-tims.tayotdf.org. Authorized personnel can access the secure portal directly below.

PSEAH & Child Protection

TDF maintains zero tolerance for Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment (PSEAH) and child abuse. Every staff member, volunteer, teacher, and contractor signs a mandatory Child Safeguarding Code of Conduct prior to deployment.

Anti-Fraud & Fiduciary Control

Dual-signatory requirements on all institutional bank accounts, strict competitive procurement bidding thresholds, segregation of financial duties, and independent annual external audits submitted to Galmudug State authorities.

Whistleblower & Feedback Portal

Beneficiaries, staff, and donors can submit encrypted, 100% anonymous complaints regarding misconduct, fraud, or safeguarding concerns directly through our online intake or via email.
