O n the occasion of its 10th anniversary this year, the INDEPTH Network (www.indepth-network. org) can look back on some very significant accomplishments. It has established itself as an entity in the field of health research, has widespread brand recognition, and is known and respected globally. The Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) sites are healthy and vibrant hotbeds of grounded, high quality research, training and service provision. By building upon and enhancing the network of sites, the Network has contributed inestimably to effective capacity-building and provided multi-country research opportunities to a generation of scientists. Truly, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The story of INDEPTH’s first decade deserves to be told more widely. The many publications and papers emanating from the sites have advanced scientific knowledge but there is much more to be said about the Network as a whole. Communicating the past will help illuminate the path over the next decade and help answer the question ‘Where does INDEPTH want to be 10 years from now?’ This paper sets out some options for INDEPTH to consider as part of its long-term strategic thinking
