Provision of advocacy expertise to the World Health Organization

This consultancy assignment consisted of technical assistance in advocacy to WHO in relation to the landmark WHO/UNFPA consultation in Glion on strengthening the linkages between family planning and the prevention of HIV in women and children. Sarah had a strategic input to the draft Glion Call to Action that resulted from the WHO/UNFPA consultation. The succinct Call to Action makes a series of recommendations in the areas of policy and advocacy, programme development, resource mobilisation, research and monitoring and evaluation. After the consultation, Sarah formulated a comprehensive advocacy plan for implementation by a range of stakeholders, including governments, MPs, UN agencies, donors and civil society.
Sarah was then asked by WHO to write a clear, accessible briefing paper summarising the main outcomes of the Glion consultation. This publication is featured on the WHO website.
See recent work for more examples of advocacy and policy analysis.
