Indepth Network: 7th Annual General and Scientific Meeting (7th AGM)

INDEPTH is an international network currently consisting of 37 demographic surveillance system (DSS) field sites in 19 countries that collectively monitor 2,000,000 people at a household-level. The sites are currently located in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania with the majority of sites located in sub-Saharan Africa. Each site operates in geographically defined populations, and conducts continuous, longitudinal, demographic monitoring, with timely production of data on all births, deaths, causes of death, and migration. This monitoring system provides a platform for the design and evaluation of a wide range of health care innovations as well as social, economic, behavioral and health interventions and research studies. Given their locations in different locations in different countries in the developing world, the INDEPTH Secretariat effectively uses email and telephone to communicate with its member sites. However, the Network identified the need for annual face-to-face meetings of its entire membership and hence made its Annual General and Scientific Meeting (AGM) an integral part of its governance structure. Full members of the INDEPTH Network, i.e. DSS sites represented by their site leaders or their designated representations of Demographic Surveillance System (DSS) sites attend, speak and vote at the AGM and receive all literature concerning the meetings. These are the INDEPTH-funded participants. Associate members and other external constituencies may attend the AGM at their cost. The Secretariat and the Board determine a conference theme and sub-themes for the sessions are determined by a scientific committee. The conference theme for 7th AGM is: The role of DSS in monitoring progress on the MDGs.
