Organizational

Management

CISONECC has a Board of Trustees with legal responsibility for policy formulation, decision making and providing oversight duties over management and administration affairs. The network has a Secretariat with legal mandate to execute the decisions of the Board of Trustees and undertake the day-to-day management of CISONECC affairs. Over the years since its establishment in 2008, CISONECC’s Secretariat is now established with rented offices in Lilongwe. This development necessitates a review of CISONECC’s Code of Conduct and Operational Guidelines especially section 9.0 which stipulate minimum requirements for any member organization to host CISONECC Secretariat.

Organizational

Membership

CISONECC is made up of diverse range of Local and International Non-Governmental Organisations and Faith Based Organisations, as well as Networks and Associations working in climate change and disaster risk management (DRM) in Malawi. These are autonomous organisations with aspirations related to climate change and DRM and have unified responsibility to contribute to the network’s objectives through collaborative efforts.
