For non-academic stakeholders

ANSER Stakeholder Meeting

Every year ANSER organises an SRHR stakeholder meeting. The meeting has a double aim:

1. Updating a wide variety of stakeholders, like policymakers, civil society and health practitioners on recent evidence on sexual and reproductive health generated by ANSER
2. Hear from all stakeholders what data gaps they experience in their work and what SRHR issues they believe ANSER should prioritise in the coming year. That way the network expands the voices and participation of non-academics in research, by seeking feedback on SRHR evidence needs in society.
