Steering Committee
Steering Committee

The steering committee functions as the GNN’s executive decision-making body and is mandated to act on behalf of the GNN members. The steering committee members provide strategic oversight and management of the GNN and ensure the development and implementation of an annual work plan.
The steering committee is comprised of six NITAG members, representing the six different WHO regions and 2 NITAG Secretariat members from well-established NITAGs. The composition reflects the diverse range of maturity levels, organizational experiences, and socio-economic backgrounds within the NITAG community.
