Role of the Steering Committee
In order to both raise the profile of the project and ensure that it carries as much relevance as
possible, the research process will include consultations with the Project Steering Committee.
The responsibility of the Steering Committee, made up of a group of experts from industry,
academia, civil society and government and serving in an individual capacity, will be to:
1. help guide the project from beginning to end and provide substantive feedback
throughout the process;
2. support fundraising efforts; and
3. assist with the dissemination of the final product,
We believe that by incorporating different perspectives into the fabric of the project, the end
result will carry more weight and, ultimately, more relevance to academics and policymakers.
