The Community Protocol defines the structure through which the DMWF maintains its international relationships, manages nominations, and works toward global development goals. This protocol is designed to ensure the award’s reach and credibility match its international designation.

A. Governing Body: Division of Global Affairs 

The Community Protocol is primarily driven by the Global Affairs, which coordinates the foundation’s international expansion and strategic partnerships.

• Leadership: The GAD is led by the Director, Masrur Kabir, and guided by a Special Adviser, ensuring effective management of global initiatives.

• Mission Integration: The GAD actively works to integrate the foundation's multisector model—covering Education, Health, Justice, and Finance—onto the international stage.

• Advisory Oversight: The protocol benefits from legal and policy guidance provided by distinguished global advisors, such as Barrister M. Amir-ul Islam.

B.Global Affairs Community

The Global Affairs Division (GAD) operates through a structured, multi-regional network of Global Affairs Community Members (GACM) who serve as the Foundation’s accredited representatives across continents. These members are responsible for cultivating regional partnerships, supporting nomination processes, and advancing the Foundation’s global mission.
