Governing Board
The Director of the International Centre directs the work of the Centre in conformity with programmes and directives of the Governing Board. The latter adopts the Centre's programme of work and budget, and approves the Director's annual report. It normally meets once each year in ordinary session. The decisions of the Governing Board are made by simple majority vote, except in certain instances as defined in the Statutes. The Board consists of:
- one representative of the host State
- one representative of the Director General of Unesco
- ten representatives of the States which have acceded to the Statutes. These are elected by the General Assembly. The term of office of the representatives is renewable every two years.
Representatives of any other intergovernmental or non-governmental organization contributing to the operation of the International Centre may be allowed to attend the sessions of the Board as observers, as may representatives of Member States which are not members of the Board. The Governing Board elects its own Chair, Vice Chair and Rapporteur.
