Stunting Hub Members
Working across three countries, India, Indonesia, and Senegal, with a central hub team in the United Kingdom, we are proud of the interdisciplinary team of talent coming together to rethink stunting prevention.
We devised our governance structure to maximise parity between partners and to seek the right balance of advice and inputs across the lifecycle of the Hub. Our committees and boards have been constituted to ensure:
- the successful day-to-day running of research activities,
- delivering science to the highest quality and standards;
- engaging beneficiaries and maximising impact;
- operating ethically while ensuring compliant operations.
