The Global Campaign is a joint initiative of the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE), the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) and the World Health Organization (WHO). All three organisations are equal partners in the Global Campaign.

The International Executive Committee of IBE, and its counterparts in ILAE and WHO, is responsible for deciding the Global Campaign’s overall strategy and for ensuring the strategy is delivered.

The people responsible for implementing the strategy during the period 2009-2013 are the two Global Campaign Co-Chairs; Mike Glynn representing IBE and Nico Moshé representing ILAE, together with counterparts from the WHO.

Both IBE and ILAE ensure that the Global Campaign complements the rest of their activities by linking it into regional representative structures (regional committees and regional commissions) and by establishing links with other commissions.
