IRP Steering Committee

The IRP Steering Committee oversees and provides guidance and advice on strategy, policy and major programmatic issues related to the work of the IRP.  It adopts the IRP annual workplan based on input by the IRP Partner Organizations and approves the annual IRP budget.  The Steering Committee oversees and provides strategic guidance to the work of the IRP Secretariat.

The Steering Committee currently consists of representatives of all IRP Partner Organizations.  As the number of partners is expected to grow and for reasons of efficacy, the Steering Committee may need to be limited to a representative group of Partner Organizations, ensuring representation of Governments from both donor and high-risk countries, the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, Regional Organizations and Civil Society Organizations.  The composition and chair of the Steering Committee is decided by consensus amongst the IRP Partner Organizations.

The Steering Committee meets twice a year but can convene extra-ordinarily if required.
