**Hans Wolters, who joined the Resource Alliance in November, has stepped down as
its CEO for ‘personal reasons’.**

Deputy CEO Neelam Makhijani will be acting CEO for the time being, and certainly
until the RA’s international board meets in the middle of this month. The Executive
Committee will then make formal recommendations for the RA’s management structure
and it is expected that a decision will be made at that time on how to move forward.

Co-chair of the Resource Alliance, Jan Krol said: “It is unfortunate and with sadness
that we say goodbye to Hans and he leaves us with our best wishes. RA, with its 
committed team and board, is ready to move ahead and live up to the expectations
of all its stakeholders with seamless continuity of the great work underway within
our growth and expansion programmes. We have every confidence in Neelam as she steps
up to the role of CEO and we are delighted that she has responded so positively.”

Makhijani said: “I am both proud and honoured to be asked to step in. The RA’s vision
is truly inspirational for me. It is a unique organisation meeting needs in many
niches. We are able to make a real and powerful impact on fundraising capacity around
the world.”
