HOPE 2020 is a non-governmental, non-political, non-religious local NGO established in 2004 with the general objectives of improving the life of the rural communities through providing potable water, hygiene and sanitation services; introducing modern irrigation systems; increasing the rural community’s awareness on HIV/AIDS prevention; providing the necessary care and support for orphans and vulnerable children; reducing gender inequality through women empowerment and contributing its part to environmental protection.

Its head office is located in Addis Ababa City Administration and currently it is operating in Tole, Woliso and Sadden Soddo weredas in South West Shewa Zone and soon expands its geographical operational areas to different weredas of Oromia and Amhara regional states.

In order to meet the changes emanating from internal and external situations, it is essential for an organization to have a clearly defined and up-to-date administrative manual. Among all other things, nothing affects organization’s ultimate success or failure more fundamentally than how well its management team sets the organization’s long-term direction, develop effective strategic moves and approaches, and implements what needs to be done internally to produce good day in and day out strategy execution. Indeed, strategy and good strategy execution are the trust worthiest signs of good management. As a result clear guidance integrated to the day-to-day administration activities of the organization is a prime importance in discharging its responsibilities.

It becomes necessary to revise and amend the previous administrative regulations of the association in order to harmonize it with the rapid expansion of the association in its geographical operational areas, integration of different programs and with the revised labor laws of the country. The revised manual decentralizes the administrative structure of the association and enables the management of the organization to give similar decisions at all levels of managerial positions. It also enables all the employees of the organization to have a clear understanding of their rights and duties.
