Membership

Members Institutional Leads

¨ MOPAN members are responsible shareholders and funders of the multilateral system. They play a decisive role in defining the Network’s strategic direction, operational delivery and internal governance, and support peer learning.

¨ Members approve MOPAN’s vision, strategy and programme of work, lead and support assessments and knowledge products, and use MOPAN’s performance information and collective voice to improve standards and effectiveness across the multilateral system.

¨ Members are given privileged access to assessment findings before they are made public.

¨ Members benefit from MOPAN’s whole-of-government approach. They receive performance information on several organisations and engage with stakeholders from across government administrations, including ministries of foreign affairs, ministries of finance and ministries of development.

¨ Members fund the operations of the Secretariat in equal shares.

Observers

¨ States interested in joining MOPAN may become observers at no financial cost for a period of one year during which time they can better understand how MOPAN can support their multilateral strategies, policy dialogues, and accountability needs. The MOPAN Chair welcomes enquiries about becoming an observer.

¨ Institutional Leads are MOPAN members who champion specific MOPAN assessments on behalf of the Network. All MOPAN members have a responsibility to act as Institutional Leads and to influence the changes that organisations make in response to MOPAN assessments. The contribution of Institutional Leads is essential to:

• Provide key political support for the assessment for greater impact,

• ensure that assessments are relevant, critical and helpful to the organisations and MOPAN members; and

• ensure that the evidence from assessments promotes behaviour change, by disseminating the results within their administrations and with peers, engaging with the organisations on the management response process and following-up on MOPAN’s recommendations within multilateral governance structures.

Reference Group

¨ MOPAN convenes reference groups to support the delivery of its knowledge products. These groups comprise high-level experts from across MOPAN members and other relevant stakeholders interested in supporting the implementation of MOPAN’s thematic studies, “Lessons in Multilateral Effectiveness”. Participants contribute by:

• Providing strategic guidance and technical expertise,

• ensuring that MOPAN’s findings are robust and relevant, and by

• disseminating studies within their administrations and broadly to stakeholders across the multilateral system.
