The Role of the Expert Consultants

Each expert consultant brings to the project different expertise and networks that will ensure the work incorporates diverse perspectives and reaches a wide audience. Acting as expert consultants, they contribute to the project by: giving critical comment on the review work (both in writing and via participation in team meetings); inputting into the design of the consultation exercise and survey tools; contributing to the writing/preparation of the guidelines for different audiences; providing links/networks that will facilitate the identification of sites for piloting of guidelines; contributing to the development of the tools for evaluation of the pilot phase; contributing to the analysis and consolidation of feedback from the pilot phase and contributing to the production of varied dissemination products.
