CIPCR International’s Advisory Panel is made up of a number of subject-matter experts drawn from across a wide range of backgrounds. There are members of community groups, senior clergy, academics, former combatants, politicians, legal experts, former security forces personnel and victims’ representatives.
The Advisory Panel are principally focussed on the provision of specific advice, based on their particular area of expertise, in order to support our Management Board in drawing up strategies and plans for the projects and programmes that it intends to pursue.
Advisors are also able to be involved in a very direct way with programmes themselves, when circumstances permit. The Panel is also able to advise the Management Board on the general direction that CIPCR International wishes to move with regard to its future national and international programmes and the assessment of potential programme partners.
In addition to our Belfast and London based staff, CIPCR International has a network of consultants and advisors operating around the world.
