8. New:
Successful fulfillment of Thematic area 4 will require a cohesive force, facilitative capacity and flexibility to diverse requests from the governing bodies of NDPHS and it secretariat, as the terms of reference of TGs are relatively narrow and precisely defined and thus do not provide leeway for unexpected tasks.

9. New:
The Thematic area 4 TGs Chairs ans Co-chairs would be invited to attend SIHLWA-EG meetings as full members. Additionally special effort with the advise and support by CSR, from each Partner Country at least one prominent, well-known expert with considerable prestice and over-arching respect based on proven career on national and international fora on healthy lifestyle and social well-being (“wise men” and “ise women”) would be invited to the EG. Their advise and voice would be needed for the advocacy and societal acceptance of the messages, In order to contract such persons, it will be evident that SIHLWA-EG meetings would frequently need to use video-conferencing facilities.

10. The Task Groups relationship to SIHLWA EG wouldnot be not a subordinate one, but aims to be a cohesive link with other Task Groups working on closely related topics. SIHLWA EG provides logistic advice and helps in disseminating the results and seeks for additional support for project funding opportunities
