She will also be representing AWDF at other side events coordinated by other participating organisations at the conference. The fist is ‘Supporting Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health in Post 2015’ organised by Advance Family Planning (AFP), an advocacy initiative designed to help developing countries achieve universal access to reproductive health.
Following that is the International Planned Parenthood Federation’s (IPPF) discussion ‘The Addis Ababa Accord: Making it Meaningful for Women and Girls.’ This event will explore the implications of the new Financing for Development agenda for women and girls’ sexual and reproductive health and rights, in order to ensure that the most marginalized women and girls are not left behind.
AWDF has been actively involved in the Financing for Development agenda in Africa. Ahead of the July conference, AWDF, in partnership with the Post 2015 Women’s Coalition and African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), organised a regional strategic meeting for African feminist organisations. Held in Nairobi, Kenya from 6th-8th May, the main aim of the regional meeting was to facilitate collective action and create a space for organizing in anticipation of the upcoming July conference.
