The ICI Global Steering Committee
The Global Steering Committee (GSC) is the expression of IP and LC leadership of the initiative. It coordinates ICI work at the global level and works with the PMU to ensure that deliverables meet project requirements while ensuring that Indigenous leadership and values are upheld.
The GSC is composed of one IP representative from each of the ICI initiatives, serving for a period of 2 years. The GSC plays a pivotal role in the decision-making processes of ICI. At the heart of this essential function are two co-chairs. The co-chairs are instrumental in ensuring the smooth facilitation of meetings and promoting an environment conducive to consensus decision-making.
