Our Vision
AA Alliance Organising Principles
industies and sectors willing to make data empowerment a reality.

Member-focused
The focus of the Sahamati AA alliance is to serve the needs of all its members, regardless of size, business, role or patronage to the alliance.

Member-driven
Sahamati governance is influenced by considerations of member’s voice, representation and expertise.

Membership supported
Sahamati’s funding needs are met by membership fees and sponsorships, with members acting as ‘owners’ of the alliance.

No Governance Capture
Governance is independent of the funding sources. The governance council is responsible for all decisions influencing members.
