The EIP is comprised of three governing bodies each of which have their respective responsibilities and mandates: (i) EIP Co-Chairs, (ii) EIP Advisory Group and (iii) EIP Membership. The governance team of the OECD’s Development Co-Operation Directorate acts as the Secretariat for the EIP.
Co-Chairs
EIP Co-Chairs are nominated for a two-year term which can be renewed in consultation with the EIP membership. Members can either propose themselves or another member as co-chair with the outgoing co-chair nominating a successor among the proposed candidates.
The Co-Chairs are responsible for:
- Setting the overall strategic direction of the EIP in consultation with members;
- Ensuring the implementation of the EIP Programme of Work;
- Convening and chairing Advisory Group meetings and EIP annual meetings;
- Assisting the Secretariat to mobilise the resources needed to support implementation of the EIP’s Programme of Work and
- Representing the EIP in relevant international meetings and events.
Advisory Group
The EIP Advisory Group meets twice every year and regularly consults with the Co-Chairs and members on policy and planning decisions. The Advisory Group is primarily responsible for:
- Providing advice and guidance to the Co-Chairs and the Secretariat on strategic direction;
- Advising on the substantive content and policy orientations of EIP outputs and deliverables, with particular attention to the objectives and activities of the EIP;
- Assisting in enhancing the visibility of EIP activities and
- Assisting in identifying prospective EIP partners.
The Advisory Group is comprised of four to eight members, each of whom is selected for a period of two years (renewable for up to two years subject to EIP members’ agreement). Selection of Advisory group members occurs through self-nomination or nomination from another EIP member. Nominations can be communicated to the Secretariat or the Co-Chairs.
