Our governance
Our governance
Board of Directors
DNDi is governed by a Board of Directors that approves project selection and sets policies governing intellectual property, financial control, and ethics.
The Board consists of representatives from six of DNDi’s founding partners, a patient advocate who represents the communities we serve, and up to eight other members with additional required skills, knowledge, or experience.
A representative of the World Health Organization (as represented by UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases) and the Chair of the DNDi Scientific Advisory Committee are permanent observers. The DNDi Executive Director is a permanent invitee.
In addition, our regional offices are governed by Boards of Directors.
Scientific Advisory Committee
The DNDi Scientific Advisory Committee provides independent and exclusively evidence-driven recommendations to the Board of Directors on matters related to research and development and choice of projects.
The Committee is composed of prominent scientists with drug discovery and development expertise, as well as medical and public health experts with disease-specific expertise or expertise with specific neglected populations
(e.g. children).
The Committee operates independently of the Board of Directors and the Executive Team. The Board of Directors approves the selection of Committee members.
