Team

The CHH-Lancet Commission is led by a core team, consisting of a chair, co-chairs, and a secretariat. Its work is driven by a cohort of 18 Commissioners with a range of backgrounds, including people with lived experiences of humanitarian crises, technical expertise, and geographical diversity. Each Commissioner works with and mentors a NextGeneration Scholar – an emerging researcher or practitioner. The Commission received guidance from an Advisory Committee, representing diverse humanitarian voices with extensive experience.
