Following a multi-year consultative process to identify the best ways to adapt to IAWG’s growth and the shifting context for SRHR in humanitarian settings, IAWG revised its leadership structure, transitioned to a new host organization and restructured its working groups.
IAWG now has three leadership bodies:
- Executive Committee: The highest governing body of IAWG, leading IAWG’s strategy, operations, and performance monitoring.
- Technical Oversight Committee: Provides technical, operational, and strategic input to the Executive Committee and Secretariat, approves and monitors working group workplans, and has final approval of IAWG’s technical products.
- Secretariat: Now hosted by the Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health, the Secretariat focuses on IAWG operations, membership, and advocacy and communications. Currently, the Secretariat is made up of a full time coordinator and a part-time comms assistant.
Additionally, IAWG consolidated 14 sub-working groups into three working groups aligned with the strategic plan, complemented by task teams and communities of practice.
