Transparency
Accountability matters.
Donors, partners and communities should be able to see how CEST is governed. Here is our constitution, and the reports we will publish as they become available.
The CEST Constitution
The supreme governing document of CEST: its vision, mission, objectives, membership rules, structure and financial provisions. Adopted on 14 January 2022.

How CEST is governed
- A written constitution is the supreme document of CEST and binds all its members.
- Three organs run CEST: the General Membership, the Executive Management Body with an Advisory Board, and the Board of Directors.
- Officers are elected by secret ballot every four years, with an independent electoral committee.
- The Annual General Meeting appoints an external auditor or audit firm and approves the financial statements.
- All money raised by or on behalf of CEST may be used only to further its aims.
- CEST is neutral in politics, religion, race and tradition, and opposes discrimination of any kind.
