Project management structure

The overall management structure is summarised in the organigram of the project

A Steering Committee (SC) composed of 6 members, representatives of donor and project partners, oversees the project implementation and is assisted for scientific matters by a Scientific Advisory Group (SAG) composed of a pool of about 20 international scientists. The SAG functions in an advisory capacity and is responsible for ensuring scientific rigour, and advice on training needs.

The overall project coordination is undertaken at the interregional level by an ad hoc Project Coordination Agency (PCA). The role of the PCA is to provide general administrative and financial oversight of project implementation, backstopping to the local partners, ensure scientific coherence and pertinence of project activities, and consolidate annual progress reports to the donors. For each region (Guianas, Central Africa and Pacific, one Regional Focal Point Organisation (RFPO) acts as the main implementing partner for the project.
