The 8 July PMNCH Board meeting was the first Board meeting following the extensive Governance Reform. Following its new mandate, the Board has been reduced in size and will unite high-level champions and energize collective advocacy efforts. Board members are expected to broaden the pool of champions for women's, children's and adolescents' health (WCAH) by reaching out to their contacts, and to leverage their networks and institutions to advocate for WCAH. The 8 July Board focused on the strategic shifts required to make the PMNCH COVID-19 Call to Action Campaign more impactful, including concrete steps that champions can take to support this advocacy. Against the backdrop of the latest evidence on WCAH in the context of COVID-19, summarized in the action brief Rise, Respond and Recover, and reflections from the IPPPR and GPMB on pandemic preparedness and response, board members will be asked to consider how PMNCH advocacy targets and goals can address the effects of the pandemic, and how PMNCH constituencies and champions can help deliver high impact, targeted interventions. The Board meeting was chaired by the Rt Hon Helen Clark.
