A senior leadership team, led by the organization’s Executive Director and the Deputy Executive Director, are responsible for managing the day-to-day functions of the organization, as well as all staff globally.
Annual Reports
Transparency in our work and Impact.
In many resource-rich regions around the world, communities face growing instability and exclusion. IMPACT is continuing our efforts to strengthen security, development, and equality by enabling change, communities first.
Our footprint is global, just like supply chains. With offices in six countries, we partner with local communities, the private sector, and governments to strengthen natural resource governance, while advancing sustainable peace and development.
Thank you for your support.
