GOVERNING BODIES

G-RAP recently changed its governance structure. From 2008 onwards, the programme will be governed by a nine member Programme Board comprising of individuals from civil society, parliament and donors. The Programme Board leads on strategy, policies and priorities for the Programme, and on the external relations of the Programme.

A three person Grant Selection Sub-Committee is chosen from among the Board membership. Beneficiaries of the G-RAP Fund cannot be members of the Selection Sub-Committee.

The Funders Committee, comprising of participating donor representatives, has an advisory function, with special responsibilities in fiduciary risk management, monitoring and evaluations. The lead donor of the Funders Committee contracts Programme Management.

The Programme Management Team acts as secretariat to the Programme Board and the Funders Committee, and manages all aspects of the grant-making procedures and processes.

The change of the structure and the new division of roles and responsibilities were approved by the Funders Committee and confirmed by the Advisory Board, which then turned itself into the new Programme Board at its session of January 28th 2008 (for minutes of this Board meeting please click here)
