The Consultative Group (CG) is GFDRR’s policy making body and creates the essence of most GFDRR long-term strategic objectives while overseeing expected results. The CG consists of official donors contributing at least US$ 3 million in cash cumulatively over three consecutive years; recipient or developing country governments contributing at least US$ 500,000 in cash cumulatively over three consecutive years; UNISDR as a non-contributing member; the Chair of the Results Management Council; and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) as permanent observers. In addition, the CG may invite up to six developing country governments to be members on a staggered rotation basis. Currently, the developing country governments as CG member include Haiti, Senegal, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Yemen, and Malawi. Partners who have recently joined the Consultative Group are New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Mexico, and South Korea.
The CG meets twice a year and is chaired by the World Bank’s Vice President for Sustainable Development and co-chaired by a donor member.
