Governance
The IFRTD is coordinated by a decentralised Secretariat working from locations in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the UK. The Secretariat is hosted by Practical Action. The Secretariat facilitates the international network; providing support to IFRTD affiliated national networks (NFGs), co-ordinating and carrying out the Forum's international activities and raising and managing funds for the Secretariat and IFRTD's international and regional programmes.
The Secretariat's mandate comes from an international Executive Committee (EC) comprising the current IFRTD Chairman Danang Parikesit (click here for more information about our chairman), donors, co-opted individual members of the wider network and representatives from IFRTD's affiliated national networks (elected through regional meetings).
IFRTD's regional meetings are held annually and comprise representatives from IFRTD affiliated national networks (NFGs) in the region plus select invited individuals and donors. These meetings, held prior to the International Executive Committee Meeting, discuss regional issues and international issues to be taken forward to the EC.
