The International Advisory Group (IAG)

The International Advisory Group (IAG) is an advisory group to help DFID guide the project. The IAG consists of:

  • A representative of each pilot country, appointed by the MSGs
  • Four expert appointments representing industry, civil society and academia

The members of the IAG represent the main CoST stakeholder groups:

  • The IAG country representatives present feedback and lessons learnt on the basis of the experience of the country Multi-Stakeholder Groups
  • The IAG expert appointees provide technical advice and comparative country knowledge
  • The IAG academia and civil society representatives ensure that the IAG follows the CoST principle of multi-stakeholder participation and consensus.
