Summer Webinar Series: Exploring Critical Gaps in SRHR
Global Affairs Canada recently launched the “Health and Rights for Women, Adolescent Girls and Children” call for proposals. With $325 million over five years, selected projects will improve the quality of, access to, and demand for integrated health services and information for women, adolescents, and children at the community, health facility, and health system levels.
Throughout August and September, Action Canada in collaboration with CCIC and CanWaCH will host a series of informal webinars on some of the identified gap areas of SRHR. The webinars will bring together experts from international partners and Canadian civil society organizations to discuss integrative programming and best practices for programming in these areas. Join us for these knowledge building sessions – all are welcome!
