How teams are assembled
The proposal identifies relevant roles, required experience, technical leadership and quality responsibilities. Availability, country capacity, conflicts of interest and suitability are assessed before commitments are made. Named profiles, qualifications and memberships are supplied only with authorisation and verification.
Join the expert network
Researchers and technical specialists can register an expression of interest with their expertise, relevant assignments, languages and availability. Registration does not guarantee employment or an assignment.
Teams evidenced by completed assignments
The 2020 GNHR and 2023 WFP reports document research and data coordination, operations and community engagement, MIS and quality assurance, field supervision and local enumeration. These assignment teams supported training, field logistics, digital data collection and review. Current team composition is confirmed in each proposal.
