The basic organizational structure of DTCE is based on inter-related work teams rather than departments to produce a flat agile and flexible organization that functions in an integrated fashion. Work teams exist both at the headquarters and field level with the former providing support services to the latter. DTCE has four headquarter teams to support the core field operations teams.


  Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

The CEO is the team leader for the office of the Chief Executive Officer and the DTCE management team. The CEO is responsible for DTCE results, operations efficiency, transparency and accountability before the board of Directors. The office undertakes overall supervision of DTCE operations. It evaluates DTCE performance on the basis of DTCE IME systems and proposes policy adaptations across time and policy differentiation in the territory.


  Information, Monitoring and Evaluation (IM&E)

The main objective of the DTCE IME system is to collect authentic data relevant to local governments and civil society, to generate statistics and analyze data from the operational information systems for aid to DTCE planning, execution and evaluation for the promotion of community empowerment at the local level. The DTCE Information, Monitoring and Evaluation (IME) system provides relevant, accurate, timely, and reliable information that is continuously updated. It develops a two-way flow of information from and to various actors and stakeholders.

IME also outsources the tasks of reporting filling, revision, and collection to contracted Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) at district level. This strategy also compliments DTCE's vision of enhanced community participation, empowerment, and citizen ownership. DTCE IME-CSOs collects and analyzes data essential for the promotion of community empowerment as well as evaluation of any mobilization campaigns. The responsibilities of the IME-CSOs are Ground Assessments, Documentation of the Orientation Meetings of Union Officials and local organizations and Evaluation of Capacity Building Events.
