Board of Director
The Board of Director calls for meeting or when the Director of LDC-CelAgrid requests Board members for consultation of important issues.
Management team
LDC-CelAgrid team organizes monthly meeting to discuss the management and operation of the projects and other in-house activities.
Staff
All staff meeting is organized in every three months of which progress of the projects implementation is presented and general issues are raised and discussed while regular monthly meetings are organized by respective components of LDC-CelAgrid.
The management team is composed of the Director and senior staff in charge of each component at LDC-CelAgrid. The senior staff responsible for each component has the responsibility of day to day management and operation of the project and the meeting with staff under their responsibility can be organized on ad hoc basis if required. LDC-CelAgrid has 4 main units; Community Development and Renewable Energy, Training, Research and Eco-Farm. In addition, project officers in each of the branch offices are responsible to manage day to day activities in the field.
The Strategy
LDC-CelAgrid team belief that development can be happened in the community when changes in traditional agricultural practices, human capacity, degree of resources mobilization and the routine and systematic commitment of development workers, community members and policy makers.
The changes in traditional agricultural practices would occur at least when greater benefits can be shown from the new innovative agricultural technologies and therefore LDC-CelAgrid team beliefs new adapted research need to be studied and results should be introduced and demonstrated in communities.
As the education levels of the community members are concerned, LDC-CelAgrid team truly beliefs the hand-on “Learning by Doing” applying Farmer Field School methodologies and approaches is so far the most appropriate strategy for capacity building of community members.
In addition, LDC-CelAgrid is advocating its research results through training courses organized for government staff, development workers, students and NGO staff with the expectation that wider application would be occurred in nationwide to influence policy makers.
