The General Assembly (GA) is the ultimate decision-making and conciliation body for the European and African partners; it debates and decides upon proposals from the Management Committee; it discusses issues with the project patrners’ contributions or of common interest to all contributors.

The chair of the GA is held by the French Geological Survey (BRGM) as Coordinator and the GA is composed of representatives from all PanAfGeo-2 partners:

• African partners from Organisation of African Geological Surveys (OAGS) (WP-Co-Leaders and/or Deputy Co-Leaders)
• OAGS President, General Secretary and Assistant General Secretary

The Management Committee (MC) steers the project and its execution; oversees and makes decisions which have significant implications regarding the work plan or budget; resolves conflicts arising within the team or resulting from the outcomes or proposed decisions of the MC. The MC is composed of President of EGS, President of OAGS, EGS Secretariat, OAGS Secretariat, Project Coordination team from BRGM, European WP-Leaders and African WP-Co-Leaders and/or Deputy Co-Leaders, and Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG-INTPA) representatives.
