The
People's Health Movement Benin launched on Saturday, July 28, 2018 in
Cotonou a mini-IPHU on adapting the human rights-based approach to the
reproductive health of young people and women including STIs and HIV /
AIDS. This workshop aiming at learning and building activists’ capacity, is
the first in a series (for Benin and West and Central Africa) and is
calling for full integration into policies of the human rights-based
approach to programming by the government.

Public institutions, populations, civil society organizations and donors
need to integrate these approaches into their programs and interventions at
all levels (central, intermediate, local). The objective is to bring all
actors to change the current intervention that does not necessarily focus
on participatory processes and, as a result, are not inclusive.

Topics include Global health governance, Trade and Health, The WHO AFRO,
SDoH, Health systems, SDG 3 & 10

One of the modules of the mini-IPHU was on items 18.4 and 18.7 of the
agenda of the 68th session of the Regional Committee of WHO AFRO planned
for 27-31 August 2018 in Dakar, Senegal.

Participants to the IPHU split into groups. The two items: 18.4 Status of
implementation of the recommendations of the report on Addressing the
Challenges of Women’s Health in Africa (Document AFR/RC68/INF.DOC/4) and
18.7 Progress report on implementing the Global Health Sector Strategy on
HIV/AIDS 2016–2021 (Document AFR/RC68/INF.DOC/7) were read and analyzed
during the workshop.

Concrete recommendations are to be sent to WHO Benin, Ministry of Health
and the media.

Follow up continues via whatsapp.
