The GF-TADs for Europe governance is composed of a Regional Steering Committee supported by a Secretariat. The Regional Steering Committee acts as a regional stakeholder platform, involving the leading regional technical organisations, WOAH Regional Commission, FAO Regional Representation, country representatives, regional and international donors. The Secretariat is provided by the WOAH Representation for Eastern Europe, including the WOAH sub-regional Representation in Brussels. The GF-TADs for Europe operates under the overall guidance and supervision of the GF-TADs Global Steering Committee and Management Committee.

The GF-TADs Action Plan was elaborated over almost a 2 year period, from February 2010 until January 2012. It results from the collated conclusions and recommendations of all the meetings held in the region Europe under the GF-TADs umbrella or during meetings that recommended the use of the GF-TADS mechanism to influence and/or implement activities.
