The Young Advisory Group consists of participating adolescents acting as citizen scientists. Comprised of adolescent participants of the local interventions in Bogotá and Maputo, they will regularly discuss with the project team at the end of each project year, fostering ongoing dialogue throughout the Maputo pilot implementation.
The Advisory Board (AB) will oversee the project's progress and management, providing input on conceptual development, methodology, interpretation, reproducibility, and policy engagement. Comprised of diverse international members from academia, non-governmental and public sectors, parents, teachers, and school representatives, the AB ensures comprehensive perspectives.
A collaborative Steering Committee (SC) will be formed in Mozambique, including representatives from various partners and organisations. This committee will oversee school-level pilot interventions, ensure ethical procedures, manage data collection and fieldwork, and provide guidance on adapting interventions to different contexts.
