We recently created an APRU GHP Steering Committee consisting of 14 members who were appointed for a two-year period. The key responsibilities of the Steering Committee members are to:
- Help define the mission of the GHP, provide leadership, discuss the progress and implementation of the GHP and to resolve concerns and obstacles as they arise;
- Be actively involved in at least one of the major activities under the Program;
- Advocate and champion the GHP at international and regional events and to seek out partnerships and funding opportunities to expand the influence of the Program and its activities;
- Actively participate in communications to ensure decisions on governance, funding and strategy are taken collectively and acted upon.
