Governance

FAN is a global consortium coordinated by a London based secretariat. Our strategy is shaped by a consortium of networks in Latin America, Africa and Asia and our mandate comes from its Governing Council.

Governance structure

Governing Council: three selected representatives from each FAN consortium member in Latin America, South Asia and Africa and a representative from the INGO members, BothEnds and WaterAid make up the FAN Governing Council.

Consortium Members: work together to support the aims and objectives of FAN and provide organisational support to its activities. Consortium Members are drawn from continental or regional networks, with a geographical spread across Latin America, Africa and Asia and two international NGOs.

 

Observer Members: emerging national or regional networks seeking to meet the criteria to become Consortium Members. They are able to attend meetings, make comments and provide inputs but will not have a decision-making role.

 

Subscriber Members: are water and/or sanitation networks, NGOs focused in water and/or sanitation, international NGOs, advocacy/interest groups and CBOs.  They will benefit from information shared and developed by FAN and will provide information for sharing and dissemination themselves. Ordinary Members who are also members of a Consortium Member (e.g. ANEW), will work through the regional Consortium member for decision-making.
 

Solidarity Members: are individuals, organisations or interest groups involved in sustainable water management and water supply and sanitation that do not fall within the definition of ordinary members, but who support the aims and objectives of FAN.

 

Secretariat: provides project and administrative, financial and legal services to FAN.
