Secretariat

The Mission Innovation (MI) Secretariat provides a stable, long-term resource to drive forward MI activities through the use of collaborative, transparent and creative approaches. All Secretariat functions and tasks are delivered in close consultation with the MI Steering Committee.

Secretariat activities include

1
Central governance and member engagement

Managing MI’s governance processes, overseeing and delivering MI’s day-to-day operations, while maintaining active communication with all members to maximize their participation.


Effective strategy, coordination and, where relevant, delivery of MI programmes

Developing and implementing overarching strategy, guided by MISC and Senior Representatives, coordinating across all MI programmes (i.e. all Missions and Platform Modules) and supporting the development of new activities led by members e.g. new Missions. The team also delivers specific MI activities that are core to MI 2.0 and benefit all members.
