     and oversee the main activities o the organisation, implemented on its behalf by
     the Secretariat. Oversight is done through four subcommittees, each governed
     by a specific term of reference:

     ❑     Capacity Building
     ❑     Audit
     ❑     Finance
     ❑     Human Resources

     Each board member serves on one of these subcommittees and the outcomes
     and recommendations stemming from their deliberations are considered for
     endorsement by the full Board.
