How is the network managed?

IPPN is led by a coalition of UN agencies with a Joint Support Team hosted by UNDP assuming day-to-day management of the network. A multistakeholder Advisory Group guides the Joint Support Team on substantive focus and strategic direction. Additional partners are invited to play active roles in co-leading and cofacilitating the network and to contribute resources, practices and lessons learned.
