IRC Supervisory Board
Updated - Monday 21 February 2011
What is the role of the IRC Supervisory Board?
IRC became an autonomous foundation in October 2006, when the statutory link with the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM) that had been in place since 1979 came to an end. Following the latest concepts of good governance for non-profit organisations, a Supervisory Board was established as the highest governing body.
The Board provides a supervisory role, supporting the full operational and policy responsibility that resides with IRC' s Director. 2009 saw a strengthening of links between the Supervisory Board and the organisation, underlining the need for Board members to gain a clear vision about what is happening at the grassroots level. To this end, Board members will, from time to time, visit IRC projects and activities to experience firsthand the results of work that is being carried out in the field by the organisation and its partners.
