Governance and Leadership

ZRDC operates under a robust governance framework that ensures accountability, transparency, and strategic oversight.

At the helm is the Board of Directors, comprising distinguished professionals from academia, industry, civil society, and government. The Board provides strategic direction, reviews policy, and upholds the organization’s vision and integrity.

Day-to-day operations are led by the Executive Director, who manages institutional performance, resource mobilization, and partnership development. Supporting the Executive Director are three core directorates.
