  • review and decide upon strategic direction and focus;
  • establish sub-committees for specific purposes;
  • select the members of the STAC;
  • approve the Alliance’s workplan and budget;
  • monitor and evaluate progress of both the administration and the Alliance more broadly;
  • play a leading role in ensuring that the Alliance and its work enhances the contributions of complementary health policy and systems research initiatives, at both national and international levels;
