RUFORUM network is governed by eight (8) governance organs, namely: (1) the Annual General Assembly (RUFORUM business meeting), (2) the Board of Trustees, (3) the Board Executive Committee, (4) the Finance and Administration Committee, (5) the Audit Committee, (6) the Technical Committee, (7) the International Advisory Panel, and (8) the Principals and Deans Committee. These governance organs are serviced by the RUFORUM Secretariat. As statutory, the governance organs met at various time throughout the year to review reports and progress and guide the organisation. The International Advisory Panel (IAP) is RUFORUM’s extra eye for foresight, exploration, review and strategic guidance
