Independent guidance and strategic oversight
The External Advisory Committee provides strategic guidance and independent oversight of CTIDR's research activities, ensuring alignment with international best practices and our founding mission.
The role of the External Advisory Board is advisory rather than executive or fiduciary.

iii. Providing independent advice on governance, ethics, and research quality.
iv. Advising on capacity strengthening, training and mentorship opportunities.
