TEAM Strategic Plan 2022-2027

Overview

In 2015, WHO and UNICEF established the independent Technical Expert Advisory group on nutrition Monitoring (TEAM) to advise on global nutrition monitoring. In recent years, the scope of work for TEAM has expanded significantly. When TEAM was established, there was no formal strategy in place to guide its activities. In 2021, TEAM decided to take a retrospective look at its objectives and what it has accomplished as well as a prospective view of where it should be going.

The objective of the overall strategy is to establish TEAM as a visible and effective leader in nutrition monitoring by playing an active role in identifying priority needs and opportunities to strengthen nutrition monitoring activities. The objective has both short- and long-term implications.

The strategic planning process yielded six core strategies that have the potential to move TEAM forward and enhance its role in global nutrition monitoring. The proposed strategies are pragmatic ways for TEAM to apply the lessons from its past and position itself as an open, innovative, and practical leader in nutrition monitoring.

This planning exercise is considered as a continuing process that should be an integral part of TEAM’s work in the coming years.
