The International Steering Committee

The International Steering Committee (ISC) is the governing board of the Robert Carr Fund.

The ISC sets strategic direction for the Fund, makes decisions about funding priorities and the framework for monitoring, evaluation and learning, decides on funding allocations with advice of the PAP, supports fundraising, oversees implementation of RCF activities, including the timing and methods of grant making and grantee reporting, and approves the Fund’s annual work plan and budget, annual reports, financial statements and audits and undertakes the other responsibilities outlined in the Governance Charter.

The ISC consists of up to ten members, an external Chair and an external Vice-Chair. The members of the ISC are representatives from both civil society and donors. There is an equal number of seats for civil society members and donors. The ISC may have non-voting (ex-officio) members, who act as observers.

Currently ISC consists of five donor representatives and five civil society members, with additional non-voting observers from UNAIDS, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis, Aidsfonds (as the Fund Management Agent), and civil society partners.
