NORTHCODE-Ghana is currently governed by a five-member Board of Directors consisting of persons with development and professional skills who provide policy guidance and direction for project design and execution. The Board of Directors provides oversight over all project activities. NORTHCODE-Ghana’s daily operations are run by the secretariat with a Coordinator as the head.

The coordinator is additionally responsible for managing NORTHCODE’s relationships with its funding agencies, overseeing execution of NORTHCODE’s projects and managing the human and financial resources of the organization. The Coordinator sees to the execution of development activities and provides general support for effective project implementation for beneficiaries and other stakeholders. In some cases, the organization directly implements high profile initiatives while member organizations are required to use their staff to carry out all activities through NORTHCODE, if partners are to implement programs.
