Governance is the product
A platform asking partners to coordinate through it has to be more accountable than the projects it coordinates. MNCRIP is governed through a transparent, collaborative framework designed to support strategic decision-making, responsible resource mobilisation and continuous learning.
MNCRIP's legal establishment and the composition of its Strategic Leadership Council are being finalised. This page describes the governance design; named office-holders and founding instruments will be published as they are confirmed.
