Property Administration Directorate<\/h1>\n \n <p>\n The Finance, Procurement & Property Administration Directorate is the operational and financial backbone of the Dire Dawa Health Bureau. We ensure that public resources are managed with the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and efficiency. By overseeing financial operations, procurement processes, and asset management, we empower all other directorates to deliver uninterrupted, high-quality healthcare services.\n <\/p>\n\n <h2>Our Mandate<\/h2>\n <p>\n Our mandate is to secure, allocate, and manage the financial and physical resources of the Bureau in strict compliance with national public finance regulations. We are responsible for ensuring a transparent procurement process for medical supplies, equipment, and operational services, while maintaining an accurate inventory of the Bureau's physical assets to prevent loss and maximize utilization.\n <\/p>\n\n <h2>Strategic Objectives<\/h2>\n <ul>\n <li>Ensure accurate, timely, and transparent financial reporting and budget execution.<\/li>\n <li>Streamline procurement processes to ensure cost-effective and timely delivery of essential medical and office supplies.<\/li>\n <li>Maintain a comprehensive and up-to-date property and asset registry for the Bureau.<\/li>\n <li>Strengthen internal controls and compliance with public financial management laws.<\/li>\n <li>Provide reliable general services, including facility management and fleet operations, to support healthcare delivery.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <h2>Key Programs & Services<\/h2>\n <p>To achieve our mandate, the directorate oversees three specialized teams handling critical administrative and financial functions:<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"program-block\">\n <h3>Payment & General Ledger Team<\/h3>\n <p>Manages the Bureau's core financial operations.
