Procedure for funding the ACT Forums & Secretariat

The ACT Alliance governance has agreed that the following elements will comprise the funding base for the ACT forums and secretariat:

A Forum fee that is paid by all members and observers into the forum where their headquarter is located.
An Income-Based Fee (IBF) that is paid by all organizations whose annual income is over USD 5 million. The income related fee is based on a percentage of the total income of the organization (see definition below) as set by the Governing Board.
An International Coordination Fee (ICF), which is levied on appeals issued by the ACT Secretariat.
Voluntary contributions over and above the fees will be sought for specific programmes in order to ensure the adequate funding of the core budget.
