SUMMARY:PATH’s BID Learning Network Virtual Learning Series: Health Advocacy in the New Normal
DESCRIPTION:Advocating at the subnational level during COVID-19\nAugust 6, 2020\n4:00-5:30 PM EAT | 9:00-10:30 AM EST\nThe COVID-19 pandemic is transforming the world around us—shifting priorities, repurposing resources, changing accountability practices, and accelerating policy development. In the absence of face-to-face interaction, the pandemic is also changing the way health advocates approach policymakers—increasingly through virtual means. Virtual engagements are often more difficult at the subnational level, excluding critical community and civil society voices in decision-making. \nAs decision-making, accountability, and action is increasingly taking place subnationally, how must our 'traditional' approaches to advocating at the subnational level shift as a result of the pandemic? How can we facilitate and ensure community perspectives feed into national decision-making? How can we improve the capacity of sub-national level advocates for impactful engagement in the new normal?\nWe hope to explore these and more questions in the second conversation in PATH's virtual learning series: Health Advocacy in the New Normal. This series aims to catalyze conversations and exchange best practices among health advocates and policymakers by bringing together perspectives from across the African continent to reflect upon what is working and how we are evolving the practice of advocacy for impact in the health sector.\nREGISTER HERE\nSpeakers:\nChristina Chilimba, Youth Champion, Graça Machel Trust, Malawi\nDr. Andrew Mulwa, Minister for Health Services, Makueni County, Kenya\nGeorge Osei-Bimpeh, Country Director, SEND-GHANA, Ghana\nModerated by Melissa Wanda, Advocacy and Policy Officer, PATH, Kenya\nWith contributions from Monica Ogutu, Executive Director, Kisumu Medical and Education Trust, Kenya\nThis virtual discussion is a follow-up to PATH's Advocacy Learning Lab: Decentralization that was hosted in Nairobi, Kenya in February 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic is transforming the world around us—shifting priorities, repurposing resources, changing accountability practices, and accelerating policy development. In the absence of face-to-face interaction, the pandemic is also changing the way health advocates approach policymakers—increasingly through virtual means.

As decision-making, accountability, and action is increasingly taking place subnationally, how must our 'traditional' approaches to advocating at the subnational level shift as a result of the pandemic? How can we facilitate and ensure community perspectives feed into national decision-making? How can we improve the capacity of sub-national level advocates for impactful engagement in the new normal?
