Structure
How GDO is organised
Board of Directors
An autonomous board representing the private sector, communities and academia. It sets policy, provides vision and mission, and leads the organisation towards them.
Chief Executive
Miss Anila Aziz leads GDO's management and is the organisation's head.
Operational core
Project Managers and Programme Officers provide technical assistance to field teams and make sure projects deliver quantitative and qualitative results.
Field teams & loan officers
Work in villages every day: organising groups, assessing and supporting borrowers, and running projects.
Community organisations
60 Community Organisations, 26 Women Saving Groups, 10 Village Forums, one Union Council forum and one Tehsil forum — the people who own the work.

Internal systems
Policies that protect people and money
After strategic planning, GDO built its own Administration & Human Resources and Financial Management systems, applied in daily work. The Board's role in internal controls is ensured through internal manuals, and accounts receive an annual audit by a recognised chartered accountant firm.
Line departments we work with
Local Government, Health, Education and Higher Education, Agriculture Extension, Livestock & Dairy Development, Forest and Water Management.
