On behalf of the partnership network and local communities, the functions of DWS Geneva include the formulation of policy and strategic direction for approval by the Standing Committee for World Service (SCWS); overall management, administration, quality assurance and fundraising in relation to the country programs; and coordination of efforts in five designated focus areas, as follows:
