Governance and Leadership
The governance of the Presbyterian Relief and Development Agency (PRDA) is anchored in the broader institutional framework of the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan and Sudan (PCOSS). PRDA operates with a robust, multi-tiered governance system that ensures accountability, transparency, and alignment with its faith-based mission.
