CDIA Incorporated Structure and Governance
Overview
The CDIA CMT/secretariat 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. CDIA Inc.’ s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws reflect the subservience of CDIA Inc. 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 Inc. (including the Chairman) serve with bilateral mandates of PRC members ADB and BMZ respectively. The ADB CDIA Program Manager and GTZ CDIA Program Coordinator serve as Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director respectively of CDIA Inc.
