According to the strategy recommendations, the Movement Charter has two main functions:
- Lay the values, principles and policy basis for Movement structures, including the roles and responsibilities of the Global Council, regional and thematic hubs, as well as other existing and new entities and decision-making bodies,
- Set requirements and criteria for decisions and processes that are Movement-wide to be legitimate and trusted by all stakeholders, e.g. for
  - Maintaining safe collaborative environments,
  - Ensuring Movement-wide revenue generation and distribution,
  - Giving a common direction on how resources should be allocated with appropriate accountability mechanisms.
  - Defining how communities work together and are accountable to each other.
  - Setting expectations for participation and the rights of participants.
