CDIA Institute Structure & Governance
CDIA Institute Structure and Governance
 

Overview

The CDIA Institute is legally incorporated as a non-stock, non-profit corporation in the Philippines (CDIA Inc.). Such incorporation serves as the starting point for the evolution of CDIA into a sustainable regional international institution with an international statute in the medium term.

In the short term, this arrangement provides for legal recognition of CDIA in the Philippines and facilitates ease of CMT day-to-day operations. The Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws reflect the subservience of CDIA Institute to the overall governance structure of CDIA, in particular to the policy guidance of the CDIA PRC. To further safeguard this, two members of the Board of Trustees of CDIA Institute (including the Chairman) serve with bilateral mandates of PRC members ADB and BMZ respectively. The ADB CDIA Program Manager and GIZ CDIA Program Coordinator serve as Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director respectively.

The Shareholders of CDIA Inc. can be comprised of Voting and Non-Voting membership. For further information on joining CDIA Inc. as either a voting or non-voting member, please contact secretariat@cdia.asia .
