Membership of the Scientific Advisory Panel
In its composition, the Scientific Advisory Panel seeks to ensure representation across regions and genders, including voices from Least Developed Countries. The inclusion of representatives from other international organizations and civil society serves as a pathway to reinforce strategic alliances. The membership of the Scientific Advisory Panel, presently includes:
