PMNCH has released a new report, synthesising the views from the first round of consultations on updating the Global Strategy, which took place between January and March 2015. More than 4,550 organizations and individuals contributed in various ways and feedback into the report comes from a wide-ranging consultation process involving: joint statements from youth groups and SRHR alliances— with some intrepid networks operating their own bespoke surveys; submission of regional strategies from the East African Community and African Union; Citizens’ Hearings attracting over a thousand people held in Asia, Africa and Latin America; close to 200 school children in India who also had a chance to add their voice. These were a few of many that contributed though discussions, meetings and the online survey.
This report, developed to contribute to the process of updating the Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health, in advance of its launch in September 2015 alongside the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), will provide a timely input into the first draft of the Global Strategy, expected for release in early May 2015.
