The Board of the Gidon Association continually strives to improve the efficiency and professionalism of their activities.

In 2004/5 the Amuta participated in the Pratt Foundation’s prestigious Pradler Program to assist in building the capacity of Israeli NGOs in the field of resource development by giving them the knowledge, the insight, and the tools needed to secure their future operations.

The Pradler program is the first of its kind in Israel to offer organizations intensive instruction and mentoring; combining the attainment of knowledge and tools with active involvement in fundraising activities.

In 2008 the Amuta was selected to participate in the Nova Project. During the course of the year a group of very talented students of Business Administration from the Inter Disciplinary Center in Herzlia studied every aspect of the Amuta and its operation and presented practical suggestions to improve efficiency and efficacy. 

As a result of their recommendations, the Amuta began a process of organizational change, which included recruiting a professional CEO to run its activities on a daily basis.
