Governance
We are led by collaboration of our donors, organisations comprising the Alliance secretariat, and business partners.
Steering group
Unusual in the world of international development initiatives, the Alliance puts public private sector collaboration truly at its heart with a steering group made up of representatives of both its donor governments and its business partners.
The steering group comprises a representative from each donor government (United States, Canada and Germany) as well as private sector representatives (Abbott Laboratories, Ardo VLM, BASF, Deutsche Post DHL, Toyota North America, UPS, Walmart).
