The OCHRC Board establishes the over arching policies and principles that guide the Initiative. Its main duty is to ensure the efficient execution of OCHRC objectives. Members of the OCHRC Board are chosen from the constituencies that form OCHRC for their scientific, medical and public health expertise in child health and nutrition research. Board members serve a three-year term. They take an active part in specific activities such as the peer review process of project selection. A Chair, appointed by the Board, provides leadership.
