On Friday 21st a policy-oriented half-day seminar took place with representatives from UNFPA, Norad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Norway-based NGOs working with maternal health related topics.
The purpose of the policy seminar was to introduce our project to the organizations working in practice with maternal health issues, and to receive input and perspectives from practitioners and policy-makers in order to enhance the relevance of the research project to policy.
Thanks to participants from Care, Changemaker, Fokus, MSF Norway, Norwegian Church Aid, Save the Children, UNFPA, UNICEF, Norad and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for enthusiastic participation in the discussion and valuable feedback to our project!
