The General Meeting (General Assembly) is the most important decision making body in AIDA. The General Meeting is conducted once per month in an interactive and participatory way, where Heads of Agencies can meet, discuss, interact,  and be informed about latest updates. Decision taking levels of authority for the General Meeting:

• Approval of the Strategic Framework/Plan, or major adjustments to Strategic Framework/Plan
• Approval of AIDA’s Statutes and membership fees.
• Election of Executive Committee members and Chair.
• Major policy and messaging approval.

Upon delegation from the General Assembly,  AIDA is governed by an Executive Committee (ExCom). The Executive Committee Members (ECM) are elected by the General Assembly, in principle the Heads of Agencies of their respective organisations, and will hold their posts both as an individual and as representatives of their agencies. They are responsible for the oversight, strategic planning and to monitor the work of the AIDA Secretariat. The ECMs participate on a voluntary basis and in carrying out all of their responsibilities, they must act with full transparency, accountability and refrain from any conflicts of interest.

The Executive Committee will:

• Meet every month.
• Be responsible for strategic planning, oversight and monitor the work and activities of AIDA Secretariat in consultation with and       ensuring accountability to the wider membership.
• Ensure the proper stewardship of financial resources. 
• Represent AIDA in external fora. 

AIDA has the following Sub-Committees, which hold monthly or quarterly meetings:

• AIDA Advocacy Sub-Committee
• AIDA Gaza Sub-Committee
• AIDA Operational Sub-Committee
• AIDA Programme Sub-Committee

Each Sub-Committee is responsible for the development of their ToR, specific objectives and annual work plans, and are accountable to the ExCom and the wider membership. Each Sub-Committee will include one member of the ExCom and be supported by the Secretariat. These Sub-Committees will give regular reports to the ExCom and the general membership, and take major issues or policy positions to the members for decision taking. Non-members may be invited to participate according to the terms of reference of the sub-group. The Sub-Committees shall have video link between West Bank and Gaza, and once every quarter the Sub-Committee will conduct its meeting in Gaza.
