In July 2009, we launched our International Advisory Board of social, political and academic leaders from around the world.
The aim of the Board is to help expand the scale, impact and visibility of our work through members’ knowledge and networks.
Each Board member has expressed a keen interest in working with us to promote our mission: to reduce poverty by improving the capacities of local organisations and promoting good governance.
