The Steering Committee proposes a strategy and time-bound deliverables to the GA and oversees the implementation of the initiative.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SC proposes a strategy with specific, time-bound deliverables to the GA and oversees the initiative’s implementation. It ensures that the decisions made by the General Assembly and the Steering Committee are carried out effectively and that all PREZODE Committees and Working Groups operate smoothly according to established procedures. It plays a crucial role in shaping PREZODE\u2019s strategic direction, submitting recommendations to the GA, and making important decisions regarding various actions. The Steering Committee is organized in three colleges representing Science, the five world Regions (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania), and civil society. Additionally, these members actively participate in and represent PREZODE at various international, regional, and virtual events and chair the Working Groups for the Pillars.
