The Challenge
Strong financial management is critical to effective, hi-impact programs in the development and humanitarian relief sector. And, while it is true that all staff of an organization are responsible for financial management – non-financial managers are the boots on the ground for an organization’s financial operations in the field – preparing budgets, managing accounts, interpreting financial data, supervising implementing partner finances, developing reports and implementing internal controls.
However, while non-financial managers are a key factor to successful financial management, these managers often lack the skills, experience and training to effectively manage finances. This situation is a result of multiple factors:
Hiring Practices
Non-financial managers are generally hired for their technical expertise in a programmatic area (health, agriculture, education, microfinance, community mobilization, etc.) Once they are hired, however, they are immediately tasked with managing finances – a skill set in which they often have no previous studies or background.
Sector Standards
In the absence of a sector-wide standard, non-financial manager training curricula are fragmented, vary in quality, and lack consistency between trainers, countries and organizations.
Target Audience
Those organizations that have resources for financial training generally target the training needs of staff traditionally responsible for the formal financial systems (accountants, bookkeepers, grants managers, and compliance officers.) Non-financial managers, as a result, risk becoming an unaddressed audience.
Resources
Organizations are resource constrained and often lack resources to develop or procure curricula for non-financial manager training – and even more critically – lack resource to implement the curricula sustainably at a global scale.
