Steering Committee

A steering committee sets the political guidelines and is responsible for the overall strategic governance of the Working Group. It comprises one representative of each FriEnt member organisation. Two chairs are elected by the steering committee and represent it between Meetings. Currently they are Martin Schuldes (BMZ) and Silke Pfeiffer (Brot für die Welt).
