APA 2015-2016 Report GOVERNANCE APA is governed by an elected Steering Committee that meets to provide strategic guidance for APA. During the reporting period, SC members met twice, in May and September 2015. Also in 2015 the second phase of the APA Organizational Effectiveness Project, with support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, was completed. Changes in the international aid environment prompted a review of the alliance, with a focus on its strategic positioning and organizational structure, and was overseen by the APA Steering Committee. Phase one was completed in 2014 and identified strategic direction for APA. Phase two focused on APA’s organizational structure, operational model and mandate. 17
