IOA governance is built around three partnership structures: the IOA Core Team, IOA strategic partnerships and the IOA Network. The IOA Core Team provides coordination and technical support. The IOA strategic partners include specific agencies and organisations with IOA skillsets and experience. They contribute to IOA partnership strategy and advocacy. The IOA Network is an association of individuals who have worked in or attended trainings on IOA. The IOA Network participates in webinars, contributes to the IOA Field Exchange and provides training and mentorship.
