Governing Board
The Governing Board
Composition :
The Institute is administered by a Governing Board, consisting of twelve members chosen for their competence and sitting in their personal capacity:
- eight members including economists, educators and other recognized specialists in fields relevant to IIEP’s mission, with at least one member each from Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Arab States, and
- four members designated, respectively by the United Nations, the World Bank, a UN Agency and a UN Economic Commission.
Such a unique composition ensures that IIEP’s programmes correspond to the needs of UNESCO Member States by drawing the diverse knowledge and experience of individuals. Such a small but effective and representative board is also an excellent way of ensuring a balance between autonomy and accountability to the Organization
Role :
The Board determines the general policy and the nature of the Institute’s activities within the framework of the general policy of UNESCO. It decides on the programme and the budget of the Institute and ensures the implementation of its activities.
