Organisational Structure of WLRC
WLRC is organised into 7 divisions containing 15 units, 2 on-call/outsourced services, and avenues for ensuring ethical conduct of duty, whistleblowing concerns and handling complaints. It also has regional project offices that focus on practical interventions at the grassroots level (see the organogram below).
At the top level of its governance, oversight is provided by the Board of Trustees which is constituted of the State Ministers of the Ministries of Agriculture, Water and Energy, Finance, Innovation and Technology, Ethiopian Environmental Protection Authority, and the Director of CDE-University of Bern. The Director-General is a Member Secretary to the BOT. Project Steering Committees and Technical Advisory Groups play technical advisory and quality assurance roles. The Director General, supported by the Deputy Director and Directors of the Divisions, presides over the executive functions of the Centre.
