The African Regional Youth Initiative (ARYI) and the African Women of Distinction project invite you to a Young Women’s Consultation on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights to take place on March 8, 2007 via videoconference involving participants from Dar es Salaam ( Tanzania ), Addis Ababa ( Ethiopia ), and Accra ( Ghana ). The goal of the consultation is to promote and advocate for young women’s participation on sexual and reproductive health and rights issues at all levels while building linkages between youth, women, and national, regional, and international organizations.
The consultation will also provide an opportunity to analyze critical issues that will:
(1) Provide a platform for young women’s participation in advocating for sexual and reproductive health and rights;
(2) Disseminate country-specific information on reproductive health needs of young women to non-governmental organizations, governments, donor agencies, and other development partners; and
(3) Mobilize youth, women, and development partners to advocate for policy change promoting reproductive health and rights of young people in Tanzania , Ethiopia , and Ghana .
It is expected that 30-50 participants per country will participate in this consultation, which is part of a series of consultations to take place throughout Africa in 2007. One of the expected outcomes of the consultation is the development (or strengthening where appropriate) of Youth Policy Groups to advocate for reproductive health policy change in Tanzania , Ghana and in Ethiopia . The mission of the Youth Policy Groups, an initiative of the African Regional Youth Initiative created in 2005, is to inform, inspire, and mobilize African youth in order to bridge the gap between policy and its implementation, (b) promote and advocate for reproductive health policies, and (c) build a foundation of youth empowerment and leadership skills.
Your participation will assist to ensure representation from your organization and/or constituency in the advocacy efforts of these policy groups.
