Governance > Volunteers
The organizational structure of the Family Planning Association consists of two types of volunteers. They are:
1) General Members/Volunteers
2) Grass root Volunteers
1) General Members
The volunteers of FPA Sri Lanka have always played a significant role in promoting family planning in Sri Lanka. Our founders pioneered the concept of family planning when it was at its most controversial. Despite the opposition faced they demonstrated its advantages to the government and society with its impressive and successful SRH programs and training. As a result, the Government of Sri Lanka provides the association with a considerable amount of resources and assistance with regard to the National Health Programs.
Goal: To ensure that FPA Sri Lanka continues to maintain and provide leadership to the SRH Non Governmental Organizational sector in Sri Lanka.
Main objectives: To develop the capacity of volunteers to be effective in rendering their services in the following:
The National Council is responsible for overall leadership of the organization with special emphasis on providing policy direction.
All these committees conduct regular meetings during the year under review. During these meetings the members of these committees guided the management to formulate policies and programs and the monitored the progress. Development and approval of work policies on HIV/AIDS, sexual harassment, development of terms of references for technical advisory committees and guidance provided to develop the skills and attributes of the staff were some of the key contributions of the governance committees. Greater and active involvement of members of governing committees in the affairs of the Association was a significant feature.
