New ALP steering committee announced – Asia LEDS Partnership

Following the nominations and the selection process, 16 Asia LEDS Partnership (ALP) steering committee members have been finalised. ALP warmly welcomes the new members on board. The steering committee is responsible for guiding the ALP to identify, design, organize and deliver support activities to members, and to coordinate closely with the LEDS Global Partnership.

Term of the new steering committee is 17 April 2019 to 16 April 2021. Two new co-chairs would be selected from the steering committee members based on the nominations. One co-chair would be selected from the national governments and the second co-chair would be selected from other international/development agencies.

ALP takes this opportunity to thank the outgoing steering committee members. Some of the previous steering committee members are continuing to serve in the current steering committee. The country government representatives also serve as a nodal point for ALP for the respective countries. The steering committee is formed keeping in mind the gender balance, geographical representation and thematic area representation.

ALP is looking to recruit a few more steering committee members. Interested representatives from development/international agencies and Asian countries can write to us at alpsecretariat@iclei.org before end of May 2019.
