Liberia Collaborative Advocacy Action Plan

Overview

The development of the advocacy action plan was coordinated by Public Health Initiative Libera, under the stewardship of the Ministry of Health, and with strong engagement from the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection and Ministry of Youth and Sports

The Liberia CAAP initiative aims to enhance coordinated, partner-led advocacy that strengthens the implementation of existing Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH), Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), and Adolescent Well-Being (AWB) commitments. 

Liberia is one of 10 countries in sub-Saharan Africa that have collaborated with the PMNCH under the CAAP initiative.   

The advocacy plan is a living document, to rally the advocacy efforts of partners, evolving as progress is made and as country priorities evolve. It leveraged the findings from a recent review of national commitments and feedback from discussions with organizations working on women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health, government representatives, and community groups among other stakeholders. These include youth, persons with disabilities, media, and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs).   

Together, partners have identified the following five goals to advance advocacy and accelerate progress for women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health:

The CAAP initiative aims to strengthen synergies with other initiatives and platforms such as Every Woman Every Newborn Everywhere  and the Global Financing Facility of the World Bank. Priorities identified by national partners also complement the high-level political advocacy of the Global Leaders Network for Women’s, Children’s, and Adolescent Health, of which H.E. President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. is a member. 

The CAAP initiative’s success depends on the collaborative efforts of partners. We invite you to join our efforts to accelerate progress for women, children, and adolescents in Liberia.
