Governance

Governance

The structure of the IPA is a governing model. Those carrying out functions within the structure have roles and responsibilities and are accountable upwards.

 

We decide the strategic direction of the IPA at each International Assembly. The 7th Assembly in 2017 selected the elimination of violence against women and children as its UN Advocacy Priority. Our next assembly takes place in Canada in 2023.
