Organisation
The GIAN was a Foundation, and as such is governed by a Foundation Board that included individuals appointed by the aforementioned partners and representatives from other international organisations and academic institutions, as well as the private sector. Two other organs, the Bureau and a five-member Scientific Committee, carried out a variety of tasks relating to GIAN activities as delegated by the Board. The Secretariat ran day-to-day operations and maintained co-ordination among the Foundation's partners.
