Principles for the organization

The work of the Global Alliance has to be organized in a manner that respects its non-involvement in funding and executing programmes on the ground, yet addresses expectations that it will trigger significant action in support of the development and deployment of alternatives to DDT.

It is thus suggested that the following principles guide the organization:

• The Global Alliance will not undertake substantive operations related to vector control and will not be directly involved in funding and execution of projects on the ground. The Global Alliance will respect and avoid duplication of existing initiatives involved in developing and deploying alternatives to DDT, and will seek to strengthen and contribute to them;
• The Global Alliance will help to strengthen the impact of existing initiatives by enhancing their visibility and coordination and will help trigger concrete action and foster new initiatives or partnerships where gaps are identified;
• The Global Alliance will include in its work, relevant Inter-Governmental Organizations (WHO, UNEP, World Bank), governments, private sector organizations, academic and research institutions, non-governmental/civil society organizations and other stakeholders involved in developing and deploying alternatives to DDT. It will also work with stakeholders involved in vector control and malaria control;
• The Global Alliance will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to contribute to the development and deployment of alternatives to DDT through a flexible and inclusive mechanism. Partners will be able to contribute at the advisory level and/ or at the technical level through the implementation of activities.

All stakeholders including organizations and individuals engaged within the scope of developing and deploying alternatives to DDT for disease vector control are invited to take part. This includes members of organizations whose purpose and mandate lie in the core of the Global Alliance’s objectives and who wish to generate synergies on specific issues. Professional experts who are committed to the development and deployment of alternatives to DDT may join as Individual members. 

All Members will benefit from expertise, networking, materials, reports, and other resources, provided by the Global Alliance. Potential members need to agree on goals and challenges to be addressed to develop and deploy alternatives to DDT and the required steps to resolve them. Members of organizations and individual experts are invited to submit the “Members’ Declaration” reflecting the shared objectives and commitments to become a member of the Global Alliance towards achieving the goals.

Members of the Global Alliance

The Global Alliance Assembly will comprise all Members of the Global Alliance. As the supreme governing body, its role will be to endorse the composition of the Steering Committee, to approve the strategy proposed by the Steering Committee and progress reports submitted by the Thematic Groups, and to approve the annual budget and the annual financial report.

The Thematic Groups will be the Global Alliance’s mechanism to undertake substantive work and implement the Global Alliance strategy.
