The Heads of Agencies serve as the governance structure for the initiative and they report to the SADC Regulators Forum and SADC Health Ministers while the SADC MRH coordinator reports to the Heads of Agencies. The assessors and inspectors each have a coordinator who reports to the SADC MRH project coordinator. The assessors and inspectors from each country are represented by a country focal person. The assessment coordinator, GMP inspections coordinator and SADC MRH project coordinator are seconded by the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) as the SADC MRH implementing agency.
