The Global Assembly
The Global Assembly
The Global Assembly (GA) is the highest governing body of the CPDE. Meeting at least once a year, it provides political leadership and direction in all of CPDE’s aspects and areas of work. The GA is responsible for the signing-off of policy, advocacy and external communication papers. It ensures the accountability of the Coordination Committee (CC) and approves annually the size and composition of the GA and the Co-Chairs.
The GA is composed of representatives from CPDE constituencies. Each sub-region and region have at least one representative in while sectoral or major groups have between two and eight representatives depending on the representational strength.
