In November 2009, and after a period of more than 50 years of managing the JPO programma itself, the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs has outsourced the majority of the tasks and responsibilities concerning the JPO programme to the Nedworc Foundation. The Nedworc Foundation will ultimately be accountable towards the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through regular reporting on the JPO programme progress, and administrative and financial issues.
The delegated tasks concern the management of the programme and comprise planning, execution and monitoring of the yearly operational activities of the programme, including the financial management and administrative tasks. The selected administrative body will act as focal point for the receiving organisations and will be responsible for the correspondence related to the delegated tasks.
In the new set-up of the programme, the receiving organisations are/continue to be responsible amongst other things for the selection and recruitment, guidance, briefing and debriefing of the associate experts. However, instead of reporting to the Ministry the organisations are to report to Nedworc.
The following operational tasks related to the programme are the responsibility of the Nedworc Foundation:
| Rolf H.M. Posthouwer | Overall Coordinator | |
| Alida A. Laurense |
Programme Officer |
|
| Martin Soudant | Head of Accounts/Administration | |
| Angelique Boer-van den Broek | Secretariat |
