independent Expert Review Group (iERG)

On the issue of global reporting, the Commission proposed a time-limited independent Expert Review Group (iERG) be established and operate until 2015: 

The Commission requested WHO to lead a transparent process to establish the iERG. A Selection Committee was convened to assess the potential candidates and propose a short list. The iERG is comprised of 7 members. Appointed individuals are expected to exercise autonomous, professional judgment and serve in an independent capacity. 

Please see the Terms of Reference  of the iERG for more information:

• Read the first report of the independent Expert Review Group: “Every Woman Every Child: From Commitments to Action”
• Read the second report of the independent Expert Review Group: “Every Woman, Every Child: Strengthening Equity and Dignity through Health
• Read the third report of the independent Expert Review Group: “Every Woman, Every Child: A Post-2015 Vision”
• Download the final report of the independent Expert Review Group: “Every Woman, Every Child, Every Adolescent: Achievements and Prospects”

The World Health Organization has launched a new web site on results, resources and oversight related to women’s and children’s health, in support of Every Woman Every Child. The site will track progress on the implementation of the recommendations of the Accountability Commission and inform the international community about the work of the independent Expert Review Group (iERG).
