Funder Group (previously 'Steering Group')

The primary function of the openIMIS Funder Group is to provide strategic direction and resources for the continued work of the openIMIS Initiative. The Funder Group will monitor and review the status of the Initiative, discuss and coordinate on proposals for potential implementations, and provide guidance for the roadmap of openIMIS.

Members of the Funder Group ensure that the Initiative’s overall vision is maintained, and the direction of the initiative remains efficient and effective.

• Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC, since 2012)

• European Union represented by European Commission (EU, since 2024)
