Strategic Groups

INDEPTH Strategic Groups (SGs) are constituted to help the Secretariat pursue the three Strategic Objectives of INDEPTH:

  • To strengthen the capacity of INDEPTH member centres to conduct longitudinal health and demographic studies.

  • To stimulate, co-ordinate and conduct cutting-edge multicentre health and demographic research.

  • To facilitate the translation of INDEPTH findings to maximise impact on policy and practice.

We therefore have the following SGs which are anchored by the Secretariat; their leadership is determined by the Executive Director:

  • INDEPTH Capacity Strengthening and Training;
  • INDEPTH Data Analysis and Cause of Death;
  • INDEPTH Data Management Programme (iSHARE2, INDEPTHStats, OpenHDS); and
  • INDEPTH Research to Policy.
