Description
The grant will contribute in the implementation of the strategic plan (SP) of SMAN and will improve services related to its operation. The improvement of management processes, the scientific monitoring, and the empowerment of human resources aim to support the mission of the organization for the protection of children and young people in danger. The grant will contribute to SMANs organizational development by suggesting activities with measurable outcome: the beneficiaries will be increased as well as the quality of the services provided, raising a positive impact on the target group of unaccompanied minors (uams). By strengthening the management team, administrative, transparency and fundraising procedures will be improved and the scientific role of SMAN will be upgraded. New funding resources, and the maintenance of the organization’s real estate property will enable financial sustainability. A very important pillar of the SP is investing in the personal development of humans of SMAN (employees, volunteers, beneficiaries); "We care for the employees, they care for the children (uams) and children learn how to care for their fellow human beings in the future." SMAN''s specialization in the care of uams, and more specifically in the institution of uams’ “fostering” in the long run aims to strengthen the competitiveness of the organization. SMAN''s strategic plan supports the advocacy role of civil society by participating in networks of organizations who share common values, and share good practices. In addition, it contributes to the protection of human rights by empowering the vulnerable group of uams, aiming at their social empowerment in civil society.
