Call for proposals:
From civil society organizations to host consultation meeting(s) on health in the post-2015 agenda
As part of the global thematic consultation on health in the post-2015 development agenda led by
WHO, UNICEF and the Governments of Sweden and Botswana.
Specific resources have been earmarked for civil society engagement into the consultation.
Following informal discussions with various civil society groups, it has been decided to issue a call for proposals from civil society organizations and coalitions (particularly from Africa, Asia/Pacific, and Latin America, and coalitions with partners in these regions) for the use of these resources, including hosting face to face civil society meeting(s) of civil society representatives to guide and review inputs into the web consultation and the high level meeting.
Full details of this call are available at: http://bit.ly/S8srpv
We would like to see proposals for either regional meetings in Latin America, Asia/Pacific and Africa or a global meeting which effectively demonstrates the ability to bring in voices from all regions. Meetings should preferably take place in developing countries. We would also welcome proposals for meetings that are side meetings or back to back with large civil society organization meetings.
The consultation would need to take place by the end of January 2013 to ensure that inputs are available for the High Level Meeting.
Output of the meeting:
The organizer will be expected to deliver a report of the meeting, which will be made publicly available on the www.worldwewant2015.org website, together with the list of participants. It is important to note the report will not be considered as a consolidated civil society position on health, but will be a an input into the final report. A representative from the meeting will be invited to the high level meeting in March 2013.
Eligibility to apply:
The call is open to civil society organizations working in the field of health. The term civil society in this context refers to the sphere of autonomous associations that are independent of the public and for-profit sectors and designed to advance collective interests and ideas. The hosting civil society organization or coalition should be able to demonstrate the ability to reach out to a representative network(s) of civil society with links to people in the relevant region directly affected by poverty, and with an experience in advocating for health and/or providing health services directly, and in particular in reaching out to marginalised or vulnerable populations.
The Organization or Coalition should have international experience, either global, regional or sub regional.
Preferably the meetings should take place in developing countries.
It would be preferable that the hosting civil society organization or coalition does not have a focus on one disease or condition and has some experience in advocacy around MDGs or the post 2015 agenda. It is also preferable that organizations are based in Africa, Asia/Pacific or Latin America, or are coalitions including groups from these regions. Joint submissions to meet these conditions would be acceptable
