In 2025, Committee 8 has revised the WIW Governance, setting up a dedicated WIW Multi Coordination Group¹ to oversee WIW and coordinate activities. Members of the Multi Coordination Group must be Committee 8 members who volunteer for the role and must have expertise in financial regulation, particularly in the areas of financial and investor education. The Multi-Coordination Group is responsible for:

Ensuring that all activities and projects required for the preparation, execution, and evaluation of the campaign are carried out. To accomplish this, they will make necessary decisions in consultation with the WIW Working Group and coordinate relevant matters with the Committee 8 Chair and IOSCO General Secretariat.

Maintaining the campaign, facilitating new member participation, and delegating or finding volunteers for tasks as needed.

Reaching out to other institutions, whether they are members of IOSCO or not. In this situation, the Multi-Coordination Group should adhere to the specific guidelines outlined in the campaign implementation plan to promote the involvement of new entities and the creation of new initiatives.

Drafting key messages, creating a social media plan, designing communications, graphics, and the website². The WIW website is hosted on a domain9 administered by IOSCO. In coordination with the IOSCO General Secretariat, new domains can be established in the future. The Multi-Coordination Group will select a ‘Facilitator’ from among its members to ensure that the campaign progresses on time and that the tasks allocated within the Multi Coordination Group are duly completed.

Ensure that there is media coverage of WIW to enhance the impact of the campaign worldwide. This work will be coordinated with IOSCO’s communication team. An example of seeking media coverage is arranging a specially designed Google Doodle for the WIW.

The WIW Multi-Coordination Group will be responsible for coordinating the campaign internationally. This will involve reaching out to other organizations to discuss the possibility of obtaining their support for WIW. Such support would include endorsing the campaign and helping to spread the WIW key messages among their members or globally. Cooperation could also involve promoting events and activities in line with Campaign Guidelines for IOSCO Members. Committee 8 may also engage with other international associations, such as the Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB), that may want to align their own campaigns with WIW (e.g., financial planning day), especially if it can attract more attention and reinforce WIW key messages.

1. As part of the preparations for WIW 2025, a core Multi-Coordination Group has been established, comprising representatives from four Committee 8 members: CVM Brazil, CONSOB Italy, CMA Saudi Arabia, and FSA Romania. Members were selected based on their expertise and capacity to contribute effectively to the initiative. A central feature of the Group’s governance is the appointment of a rotating facilitator from within its membership. This role serves as the primary point of coordination, ensuring continuity, alignment, and effective collaboration throughout the planning and execution process. The IOSCO General Secretariat (GS) supports the Group in fulfilling its responsibilities and advancing the objectives of WIW 2025.
