The meeting is being convened by the MenEngage Secretariat, Sonke and Promundo for the purpose of gaining a more detailed understanding of how men and boys can be engaged effectively as allies in SRHR for women and girls, and as proactive agents for their own health. The meeting brings together policymakers, practitioners and other concerned parties to discuss the state of the SRHR field, and where engaging boys and men fits in to current and future programming and advocacy efforts.
We hope to build a consensus on priority areas and create a plan for moving forward together to address them. We are also hoping to get feedback and suggestions from participants on an upcoming global MenEngage campaign – with national and regional components – on engaging men and boys in SRHR.
