Building Resilience to Global Risks: NAP Global Network Progress Report 2019-2020

How We Work
The NAP Global Network works
to promote good governance,
and we also seek good
governance of the Network
itself. Our Steering Committee
is our highest decision-making
body, our Management Team
leads our operations, and
the Secretariat manages the
Network’s day-to-day work.
Our Steering Committee provides vision and strategic
direction to the Network, and its members act as
champions for the NAP process.
