The process of the Noah Model is represented as follows:

Each Ark is supported by an Ark Manager who is from the community and an Ark Builder who is a Noah head office employee.  The Ark Manager is the one who makes operational decisions on a daily basis and the Ark Builder helps to problem solve and oversees events. 

The community is empowered to take care of its own children through skilling volunteers who are central to the whole process.

Monitoring and Evaluation
A key aspect of success is the comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system that is in place whereby the services offered by the Arks and the children impacted on are counted, evaluated and recorded on a central data base which is reviewed monthly. In many Arks the data is captured by the Ark personnel themselves and this gives them a sense of ownership and control over their own activities.

In addition, each Ark Manager is accountable to provide the central Research Department with this information, as well as information on their budgets and how they have allocated and spent money over the month. This ensures that the support given to the children through a range of services is effective and appropriate; that money is handled appropriately and that there is no over spending, under spending or mismanagement of funds.
