The Secretariat would communicate periodically with members, keep them informed of important developments and share the annual report and all important outputs. The Association website would be an important means for communication between the steering committee and the secretariat.


Steering Committee

The Steering committee (SC) oversees the programmes of the Forum. All major decisions, including accepting funds, are taken by the SC. The SC would consist of about 11 to 15 members and would be representative, to the extent possible, of geography, issues, gender etc. Its duration would be about 3 to 4 years depending on the duration of a particular phase. The Steering committee (SC) would be reconstituted at the end of each phase (and the begining of the nwxt phase) taking into account the suggestions from the larger meeting/ workshop held at the conclusion of the phase. The attempt would be to ensure that about half of the members are newly inducted and the importance of thematic activity as an instrument for greater and wider involvement of member  is given due consideration. Effort would be made to have stronger and organic link between the steering committee and the general membership.

The Advisory Committee

The main role of the Advisory Committee is to provide intellectual inputs, support policy advocacy work, and lend visibility and credibility to Association work.
