Members

Committee members are drawn from the constituencies that make up the Board, serving a three-year term. Any member of a relevant Board constituency that has skills and experience related to the functions and responsibilities of their committee can serve. Each constituency is represented in at least one standing committee.

Chairs, Vice-Chairs and members are appointed by the Board, ensuring a balance between donor countries, implementing countries, civil society, the private sector and foundations.
