The MFG is governed by a Board which is comprised of the Chair and Vice Chair and the representatives of all institutions that join at the Managing Member level.  Because the MFG is a multidisciplinary organization the role of MFG's advisors is critical by providing the Board with information essential to planning and evaluating projects within the MFG's program.

MFG Program Leaders

 

The MFG's program leaders are the organization's most important advisors because they run the in-country program.  The Program Manager has the authority to make all decisions within the framework of the MFG's approved budget and programs.
