Programme Group
The actual implementation of the DutchDFA programme, preparation of decisions in the Steering Group and coordination between programme activities is managed by the DutchDFA Programme Group. The Programme Group meets on a monthly basis and consists of executive members of the Steering Group organisations that are active in the international field.
Generally one or more Programme Group members take the lead for the development and implementation of DutchDFA activities, for instance when they already have an extensive network in a certain region or experience within a certain field. They are the first port of call for the Programme Office for information and consultation.

- Christine de Baan, Programme Director DutchDFA, chair
- Corien Beks, Policy Advisor Fashion, trade association for fashion, interior design, carpets and textiles (MODINT)
