In order to pursue its goals and reach its vision, the WASH Road Map has established a governance structure based on three organs:
1. The Directors Collective 2. The Steering Committee 3. The Executive Committee On the following scheme, each organ, role and mandate is represented. |
|
Directors collective
Membership
Role
The Directors Collective (DC) is informed once a year of the progress of the WRM. It monitors its the smooth implementation and can suggest new ideas or orientations.
DC members have executive decision-making authority within their agency, it is expected that they will advocate and push for internal resources to be invested into the WRM.
DC members can also advocate on behalf of the whole sector in their own agencies to give more prominence to WASH activities or join efforts to raise the general profile of WASH in humanitarian operations.
It is the highest governance structure of the Road Map; however, the WRM is a collective initiative, the Directors Collective is thus accountable to all the actors of the Road Map.
Meetings
One regular meeting per year.
If needed, the Steering Committee can call for an ad hoc DC meeting.
- The emergency director of each officially committed actor and donors interested to contribute in the WASH Road Map
- To date, this collective counts 24 members
