One of ActionAid's strategic objectives is to strengthen further the governance of ActionAid for more effective international influence and impact.

our strategy is to:  

• recruit new trustees who are women and nationals of the regions and countries where we work so that the composition of the board is appropriately balanced  
• establish conditions of service of Trustees that ensure balance and continuity and yet also encourage regular change through continually generating fresh ideas and inputs  
• enable the ActionAid family of agencies in Europe and elsewhere to work together for a common purpose and greater influence, while building on and respecting each other's strength and diversity  
• explore the feasibility of how ActionAid can achieve local governance in each country and strengthen identity and legitimacy for achieving a more representative and accountable international governance .
