Steering Committee

The Steering Committee currently consists of eight individuals with abortion-related expertise in advocacy, service delivery and training, representing a broad information base from among the Consortium's members. The majority of Steering Committee members come from developing countries or countries in transition, with an appropriate gender balance and geographic distribution. Steering Committee members participate in Steering Committee meetings, commit time to Consortium activities and represent and promote the Consortium at conferences they attend and in other activities in which they are involved.

Role

The Steering Committee is responsible for:
  • determining the strategies and priority activities of the Consortium;
  • ensuring review of, and approving, materials developed for dissemination;
  • the establishment and membership of the Working Groups;
  • determining attendance at conferences and other meetings on behalf of the Consortium; and ensuring that funding is obtained to undertake the Consortium's activities.
