Governance Structure of GWP-C
The General Assembly
The General Assembly is made up of all GWP-C’s partners. The partners meet once a year at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to make decisions on the organisation’s workplan and other business, to vote on resolutions and elect partners to the Steering Committee.
The Steering Committee

Principles of equitable representation of gender; language, expertise in integrated water resources management (IWMR); community participation and other areas of relevance are all considered before the General Assembly elects a Steering Committee member.
The Secretariat
The GWP-C Secretariat is hosted by the National Institute of Higher Education Research, Science and Technology (NIHERST) in Trinidad. The Secretariat is made up of the Regional Coordinator, Communications Officer and Administrative Officer.
