Leadership
Our Governance Structure
The War Child Alliance is built around several principles of good governance including sharing power (or “governing by network”) and accountability. These principles have directly influenced our governance structure within the foundation.
As a registered legal “stichting”, under Dutch law, Stichting War Child Alliance maintains a clear division between our managerial and executive responsibilities and supervisory functions.
