16 May 2024
The Board of Directors of Women in Global Health is commissioning a full external independent review into the operations of Women in Global Health, covering the period 2021 to date. In April and May 2024, the Board comprising Dr. Sheba Meymandi, Dr. Alistair Dunne and Ms. Shirley Bejarano conducted a process within the remit of the Board’s oversight responsibilities that concluded in a recent leadership transition at Women in Global Health.
The breadth of the review will cover all aspects of operations, including issues related to:
- Good governance
- Organizational management
- Financial & grant management
- Human resource management
- Delivery
- Accountability and transparency
The Board has instructed the organisation to prioritise the external review process, while continuing to guarantee the delivery of committed work. The Board is confident that the full, extensive review will provide the organisation with a solid starting point for the next phase of its development, including engagement with stakeholders, under new leadership.
UPDATE June 10 2024
The Board are consulting widely on the Terms of Reference (ToR) for our upcoming review, including with the Chapter Steering Committee, current and previous Board members, donors and others. WGH Chapters will also receive the ToR for information. The Board are also in the process of engaging with potential service providers and expect to be able to appoint in early summer 2024.
