Dear colleagues,
You are invited to this month's SIHI Talks, A Closer Look at Social Innovations in Health: Examining Gender and Intersecting Social Stratifiers at a Community Level, with TDR's Mariam Otmani Del Barrio and our colleagues from three Social Innovation in Health Initiative (SIHI) hubs: Dr. Phylllis Awor (SIHI Uganda), Sofía Zuluaga and Charlotte Pana Scott (SIHI LAC), and Dr. Jana Deborah Mier-Alpaño (SIHI Philippines). This happens on 31 May 2023, 12 p.m. GMT. Register here: https://bit.ly/SIHITalks_Gender
The UNICEF/UNDP/ World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) engaged with SIHI beginning in late 2021 in line with its Intersectional Gender Research Strategy which highlights strategic pathways to strengthen, develop and implement research and training with an intersectional gender lens. Recognizing the need to better understand the intersections of gender with other social stratifiers – such as sex, age, class, disability, ethnicity, among others – in the epidemiology, prevention and control of infectious diseases within low- and middle-income settings, TDR engaged three SIHI hubs: SIHI Uganda (Makerere University), SIHI Philippines (University of the Philippines-Manila), and SIHI LAC (Centro Internacional de Entrenamiento e Investigaciones Médicas in Colombia).
The primary objectives shared by all hubs are to (a) better understand and explore gender dimensions and its intersecting social stratifiers at the community level, wherein social innovations operate; (b) generate evidence-based lessons that be used for research capacity strengthening and for policy recommendations; and (c) to disseminate, promote and advocate for an inclusive research agenda.
Please join us on the 31st of May as we share insights from the research.
On behalf of the SIHI Secretariat,
Jean Barcena
