These 13 entities are active in their support of the UWWP, assisting in decision making, fundraising, education, monitoring, and other programmatic aspects of the work.

The UWWP Coordinator will support and refine the existing infrastructure of meetings and subcommittees, along with funding and reporting assistance. This position will also support the Partnership in its growth and the development and refining of effectiveness monitoring, essentially working with partners to ensure that the Partnership is running smoothly, fulfilling its commitments, and achieving impact in line with Partners and Funders expectations.
