What is the Standards Quality Commission/Board (SQC/B) and its role?
This commission or board is made up entirely of peers, thus, making it a self-regulating commission. It comprises NGO managers from international, national and local NGOs/CSOs who have long and tested experience in non-profit management in Ghana. Their role will be to appoint peer reviewers who will conduct reviews of organizations; they will then review the reports and make decisions on the award of the quality seal to organizations. They will also arbitrate on disputes regarding the reports coming out. The number and tenure of office for the board members is to be decided by the members themselves at an upcoming commissioners meeting in August 2006.
