Directors – Grenada Sustainable Development Trust Fund Inc.

GSDTF’S GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

As a non-profit organization financed by donor agencies; the Fund’s organizational structure follows
principles of good governance, effective management and efficiency.

Board of Directors

The GSDTF is managed by the Board of Directors comprising of Government and non-government representatives (Articles of Incorporation and By-laws) who may exercise all powers in accordance with and subject to restrictions imposed by the Articles of Incorporation, the By-laws, any legally binding agreement entered on behalf of the GSDTF and any applicable law or regulation of Grenada.

In terms of the Grant-making Process, the Board approves the Grant-making Manual, and the Grant-making Programme priorities, by defining the Fund’s Strategic Plan. Also, the award of the all grants is approved by the Board of Directors.

Chief Executive Officer and staff

Committees
