PHM-Exch> Contact details for PHM's new Global Steering Council

[Claudio Schuftan]

From: Anneleen De Keukelaere <anneleen at phmovement.org>



The PHM global governance renewal process aims to ensure representation of
active PHM structures in the Steering Council; to encourage the development
of young leadership while honoring experience; and to include principles of
transparency, renewal and participation. This resulted in some SC members
stepping down allowing space for young health activists who have
demonstrated commitment and capacity within their region and globally.



The SC is the principal decision making body of PHM. The main task of the
SC is to provide strategic guidance to the movement, promoting the People’s
Charter for Health, developing positions and ensuring fluent two way
communications between the PHM and the region/network/program they
represent. Communication with country circles is an important function of
regional representatives.



PHM aims to have at last one face to face meeting per year but that is
dependent on sufficient funding. Decisions between meetings are made using
email and Skype and are supported by advice from the Coordinating Committee
(CoCo).

The Global Steering Council now consists of representatives of

   - ·         The regional structures of the PHM (each region is
   constituted  by one or more country circle),
   - ·         PHM global programs,
   - ·         PHM affiliated networks, and
   - ·         Thematic circles
   - ·         Chairperson of Advisory Council



A principle of rotation has been built into the new governance structure,
recognizing a need for both continuity and change. As such, each Committee
would function for 3 years, and no person would be on the committee for
more than two terms. Representation would rotate between different active
countries in a region and between networks.



Please find below a link to the email addresses of the confirmed *new SC
regional and program representatives*. We will continue to update this as
representation is finalized. Please note that the affiliated Networks will
elect representatives in the next few months and the seats for the Networks
are thus vacant until the affiliated networks decide on their
representation.
