The Working Group is led by a Secretariat hosted by Makerere University in Uganda and a Steering Committee comprised of global maternal and newborn health experts and geographically diverse site representatives. The group aims to meet once per year linked to existing INDEPTH meetings like the Scientific Congress or Annual General Meeting. The Steering Committee meets virtually once per month.
The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan sets out vision and goals that align with the overall INDEPTH Network strategic plan, as well as the objectives and milestones identified in the Every Newborn Action Plan. The Strategic Plan may be amended following the release of the Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality metrics and measurement agenda.
