Board governance
The Board of Directors provides strategic oversight, approves the strategy and budget, and holds the executive accountable for delivery.
About Us
Governance & Accountability
Clear oversight, published policies and open reporting.
Trust is earned through structure and disclosure. This page sets out how LWA is governed and how we hold ourselves accountable.
Organisational structure
LWA operates through a central secretariat, thematic platforms and country chapters, supported by an advisory board and expert contributors.
Accountability
We report publicly on programmes, finances and impact, and welcome scrutiny from members, partners and communities.
Decision-making
Delegated authority frameworks define which decisions rest with the board, the executive and country leadership.
Policies
A policy framework covers safeguarding, conduct, procurement, data protection, conflicts of interest and whistleblowing.
Ethics
All personnel, volunteers, ambassadors and partners are bound by the LWA Code of Conduct.
Safeguarding
Safeguarding standards apply across programmes, events and partner organisations, with clear reporting routes.
Anti-corruption
Zero tolerance for bribery, fraud and corruption, with mandatory reporting and independent review.
Financial accountability
Financial statements, audit arrangements and donor reporting are published in the Transparency section.
