Likewise, the OAA-COMS is entrusted with handling of matters of extreme public importance and urgency requiring inter-Ministerial/ organizational coordinated action. The OAA-COMS also undertakes implementation of projects, which are of political significance at local, national and international levels (i.e. the Afghan-Pak Joint Peace Jirga etc). With such a broad scope of work, OAA-COMS is headed by a director general and assisted by three deputies (Programs and coordination, Policy, and Administrative). Nineteen sectoring and administrative directorates work under the three deputies, each with a clear statement of work and terms of reference. All directorates are headed by professional managers assisted by a deputy director and a number of experts and officers responsible for managing all affairs of their specific areas and governance sectors. The 19 directorates have gone through the reform process as the result of a joint effort by the Independent Administrative Reform and Civil Service Commission (IARCSC) and the OAA-COMS.
The foundation for the establishment of the OA-COS is the constitution of Afghanistan, Art. 64 and 75.
