Steering Committee
Responsible for strategic decisions and the public representation of PREVENT, the steering committee is made up of two representatives from private sector, civil society and academia and up to three representatives from public institutions.
Plenary
All members and partners of the PREVENT Waste Alliance are part of the plenary. Meetings take place at least once a year, where the working groups present results and the plenary discusses next steps of the PREVENT Waste Alliance.
Working Groups
The PREVENT members and partners come together in working groups, which define their own goals and implement activities together. Every working group is supervised by co-leads with support from the secretariat. Currently, there are the following working groups:
Closing plastic cycles
Closing e-waste cycles
Closing organic waste cycles
Advisory Board
Renowned experts and stakeholders, in particular international organisations and initiatives, support the PREVENT Waste Alliance via the advisory board. They ensure that activities of the alliance and international initiatives are coherent and provide technical advice.
Secretariat
The secretariat organises the meetings of the plenary and the steering committee, supports the working groups, and is responsible for the communication of the PREVENT Waste Alliance. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has commissioned the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH to fulfil the secretariat function.
