Board
The ECDPM Board of Governors is composed of highly respected policymakers, practitioners and specialists from Africa, the Caribbean and Europe.
The full Board convenes at least twice a year to review ECDPM’s substantial areas of work through the annual work plan and annual report. From among its members, the Board chooses the Executive Committee, which meets at least three additional times each year. Among other things, it reviews the mid-year and annual balance sheets and income and expenditure statements.
