International Women’s Reproductive Health: Supporting Local Advocacy in Sub-Saharan Africa

This paper describes the program’s sub-strategy for strengthening the quality and effectiveness of advocacy by locally-based, indigenous groups targeting national or sub-national family planning and reproductive health decision-makers. Local advocates may be nongovernmental organizations chartered in their country or among coalitions.
They may offer family planning and reproductive health services, focus exclusively on policy change, or combine both functions. All are part of their country’s indigenous “civil society”—neither businesses nor government entities. For simplicity, this paper will frequently refer to these local advocacy actors as civil society organizations (CSOs).

Description

The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation helps people build better lives, concentrating its resources on activities in
education, the environment, global development and population, performing arts, and philanthropy, as well as grants to support disadvantaged communities in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Hewlett Foundation’s Global Development and Population Program works along two dimensions, each with broad benefits for individuals and the societies in which they live. The first of these emphasizes the role of women—a straightforward acknowledgment that addressing gender disparities and reproductive health problems plays a central role in combating poverty around the world. The second promotes transparency, participation and accountability in government and civic affairs, and the use of the best available evidence in policy-making.
