Secretariat

The ACSS Secretariat, comprising the Director General and executive staff, is based in the ACSS headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon. The secretariat is in charge of the daily running of operations while the Board of Trustees provides overall direction for the work of the ACSS. During its establishment phase, the ACSS was hosted by the Arab NGO Network for Development (ANND) which provided administrative and IT support.

On April 1, 2012, the board of trustees appointed Dr. Seteney Shami as Director General of the ACSS.
