UNSD-FCDO Governance

Governance structure

Governance for the project is composed of three components, a steering group, an advisory group and project meetings.

• Advisory group: The advisory group consists of 18 members, including 9 representatives from National Statistical Offices and 9 from international and regional organizations. The group will provide advice and recommendations on the direction of the project. These recommendations will be agreed with UNSD and FCDO to ensure they are feasible and fall within the scope and mandate of the project. In addition, the Advisory Group will help with coordination of related projects and capacity development efforts by other international agencies. The group meets once in a year at margins of the UN Statistics Commission.
