Dear HIFA Colleagues,
I am writing with a request, which relates to a project we have recently started titled What works? Integrating gender into government health programmes across Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia? The project team and I would like to ask for your support in identifying successful case studies to include as part of this work.
Recognising the need for more contextualised evidence on how to successfully integrate gender into large scale health programs, the United Nations University International Institute for Global Health (UNU-IIGH), Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), and the School of Public Health at University of Western Cape (UWC) in South Africa, are partnering to identify and analyse 8-10 successful cases of gender integration into government health programmes, including those related to the health workforce, in either Africa, South Asia or Southeast Asia to understand what worked, where, for whom, why, and how. Please visit our website for more information about the project: https://rb.gy/v7tdgk
To begin identifying potential successful cases, we are inviting organisations and professionals to submit information<https://jpn01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.... on government health programmes in Africa, South Asia, or Southeast Asia that have successfully integrated gender (this includes interventions/programmes targeting specific elements of the health system). The details of the call can be found via this link and deadlines for submission are 15th of May 2022: https://www.genderhealthhub.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Call-for-prom...
We would be grateful if you could submit information<https://jpn01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.... on any relevant health programmes in any of the three regions that meet the eligibility criteria via this link: https://rb.gy/xkdb5y
In addition, it would be fantastic if you can share the call<https://jpn01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ge... with your networks.
Thank you so much in advance for your time and input. We are excited about finding new ways of co-creating solutions and this would not be possible without your support.
Please don't hesitate to contact us (whatworks.regional@gmail.com<mailto:whatworks.regional@gmail.com>) if you have any questions.
With many thanks,
