An Administrative Board comprised of experienced men and women and a small and competent staff responsible for the day-to-day management of the organization, ensure that the overall goals and objectives of API are realized.

Regular monitoring, evaluation and objective reporting are assigned top priority, as they ensure the objectives of API are realized and that donor confidence is kept.API’s mission is to effectively promote poverty reduction and financial self-reliance in the communities in which it operates.
