We, at the Lancet Youth<\/em> are very proud to announce the appointment of two Commissioners, Carmen Barroso and Dakshitha Wickremarathne (@dakki_16<\/a>) onto the Every Woman Every Child\u2019s Independent Accountability Panel (IAP).<\/p>\n

Last September, the UN Secretary-General launched the Global Strategy for Women\u2019s, Children\u2019s and Adolescents\u2019 Health <\/em>to further help the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda. The strategy builds on 15 years of progress under the Millennium Development Goals and the Every Woman Every Child (EWEC) movement. A key strategic priority for EWEC is the development of an updated accountability framework to ensure strong implementation of the SDGs.<\/p>\n

The Panel will produce its first report before the end of 2016. The report will provide an independent assessment of progress and challenges to help strengthen the response from the international health community and countries. In subsequent years, the annual report is expected to coincide with the relevant SDGs follow-up and review processes, such as the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.<\/p>\n

The IAP is comprised of the nine distinguished panellists (see below) from diverse regions and backgrounds that range from human rights experts to humanitarian leaders to statisticians. These panellists are empowered to command attention from the global community across the full range of the updated Global Strategy\u2019s<\/em> accountability framework \u2013 to monitor, review and act \u2013 and across the spectrum of issues that comprise the Global Strategy\u2019s \u201cSurvive, Thrive, and Transform\u201d themes.<\/p>\n
