Providing advocacy technical assistance to WHO

World Health Organization, 2004–2006

I gave advocacy support on WHO’s Glion consultation on family planning and HIV, drafted an advocacy plan and wrote a briefing on its outcomes.

This consultancy assignment consisted of technical assistance in advocacy to the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding the landmark consultation in Glion on strengthening the links between family planning and the prevention of HIV in women and children. I had an input to the draft Glion Call to Action that resulted from the WHO/UNFPA consultation. The concise Call to Action makes a series of recommendations in the areas of policy and advocacy, programme development, resource mobilisation, monitoring and evaluation and research.

After the consultation, I formulated a comprehensive advocacy plan for implementation by a range of stakeholders, including governments, MPs, UN agencies, donors and civil society.

A further assignment was to write a clear, accessible briefing, available on WHO’s website, summarising the outcomes of the Glion consultation.
