COULD YOU ORGANISE A NATIONAL-LEVEL CONSULTATION?
Have You Seen My Rights? has already supported 21 organisations to host national level
consultations on their response to the SDGs.
For example, Restless Development Zambia, an ACT!2015 national partner, hosted
their consultation with government ministries, civil society and UNICEF in August 2015.
During the event, the deputy director for maternal and child health confirmed that the
Zambian government “attaches great importance to the health of adolescent and young
people in the country, and is actively engaging with various stakeholders to ensure that
the plight of the youth regarding reproductive health is well taken care of.”
