RCF brings participation into everything we do. Both civil society members and funders play an equal role in RCF’s governance and decision-making.
The Robert Carr Fund is governed by an International Steering Committee (ISC) and advised by a Program Advisory Panel (PAP). The Fund is managed by a Secretariat, which is in turn supported by a Fund Management Agent (FMA).
