Governance and Executive Leadership
CMA’s institutional model calls for strategic oversight, accountable management and a clear separation between governance and executive functions. The governing body is expected to approve strategy and policies, oversee risk and finances, protect the mission and review performance.
Abdirizak Mohamed serves as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), providing executive leadership, institutional representation and overall management accountability.
Core Organizational Functions
CMA’s proposed functional structure covers Programmes; Climate Mobility and Research; Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL); Finance and Operations; Partnerships and Resource Mobilization; Safeguarding and Accountability; and Human Resources and Administration.
