The strategic management of the programme is guided by the tripartite Programme Steering Committee, which is comprised of representatives from Non State Actors, the Ethiopian Government and the European Union Delegation to Ethiopia. A Technical Assistance Unit (TAU) based in Addis Ababa assists with the day-to-day administration of the programme.
