The Steering Committee is the highest level of decision-making within the Project. This committee represents the interests of the whole Consortium. The Committee meets in person or by video / teleconference as often as necessary, and at least once a year in order to: i) review the Project status and technical reporting, and ii) discuss and validate the proposals, recommendations and guidelines released by the Project Partners and advisors.
Additional guidance on strategic aspects of the ECOMORE Project as well as on specific issues will be provided by invited international advisers. Their role is to monitor the progress and difficulties met by the consortium throughout the project, keep the Consortium members aware of opportunities related to the project, support strong proposals, and transmit any information relevant to the Project.
International advisers involved in the Steering Committee in 2013
Knowledge Translation Platform meetings will be periodically organized by the Project Coordinator to share experience within the Consortium and to promote the global Project outcomes at the regional scale. Some international / regional leading experts and main stakeholders related to areas of interest for the Project (such as those representative of the national concerned ministries, NGO, WHO, AFD, etc.) will be invited to join these meetings.
A national stakeholders committee, (namely the National Stakeholders Meeting) will be dedicated to promote networking with national authorities, facilitate the translation of the specific results of “country-specific” components into public health recommendations and guidelines and to foster the dissemination of the main outcomes at national scale.
According to the needs and requirements met by « country-specific » components, a pool of technical experts will be constituted and solicited in order to guide Partners in fulfilling their objectives.
