INEE Minimum Standards Working Group 2011-2013

INEE established a Working Group on Minimum Standards to oversee the development of the Standards in 2003-2004. A second Working Group on Minimum Standards was constituted to oversee the promotion, training, analysis and implementation of the INEE Minimum Standards in 2005-2009. The third Working Group (2009-2011) led the update of the INEE Minimum Standards, the creation of the INEE Toolkit, and supported the wider promotion and application of the Standards. Based on INEE members' feedback and recommendation by the INEE Steering Group, INEE will establish a new Working Group on Minimum Standards (2011-2013) with a renewed mandate and reconstituted membership.
