The WHO AFRO Regional committee meeting is currently taking place in Congo
Brazzaville. It started on the 2nd and will end on the 6th of September
2013. A team of WHO watchers is attending the meeting and watching the
process. The watchers include PHM Ghana, PHM Congo and MMI representatives.
This is the first time that that WHO watchers have attended the meeting to
watch the process.

WHO watching involves documentation, analysis and advocacy which varies as
appropriate at the region http://www.ghwatch.org/who-watch/about. Critical
to the work of WHO Watch are the links between the watching processes and
the various struggles for health in various districts, states and provinces
and at the national level. These links enable local activists to keep in
touch with the global policy movements which shape the context for such
local struggles.  These links also help to ensure that policy analysis and
policy advocacy at the regional and global levels is informed by the
reality of grass roots activism, both in health systems and around the
conditions which shape health.    Therefore participation in the AFRO
regional committee meeting would help us to strengthen the links between
local struggles for health in Africa with the wider regional and global
context by analysing, documenting and issuing comments or statements on the
agenda issues put forward by the regional committee and sharing this
process with health activists at country and regional level.
