The Secretariat
The Panel is a fully voluntary group of individuals who meet on a regular basis. As such, the actual work to enable it to achieve its development objectives falls to the Africa Progress Panel Foundation. Without the Secretariat, the good intentions of the Panel would simply remain theoretical and not translate into actions and results.
The Secretariat, a non-profit foundation under Swiss law, consists of a three-person board and a small Geneva-based staff. The Secretariat supports the Panel in three important areas:
- Research and policy analysis;
- Advocacy and communication;
- Preparation of core products, including the annual Africa Progress Report, a fortnightly news bulletin, and policy briefs on timely issues.
The Secretariat is headed by Caroline Kende-Robb.
