The Global Assembly
The Global Assembly (GA) is the highest governing body of the CPDE. Meeting at least once every three years, 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 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.
