Boosting Women & Adolescent Health Outcome Through Local Cross-Sectoral Partnerships

Organized by the Center for Indonesia’s Strategic Development Initiatives (CISDI), an Indonesian-based non-profit organisation that aims to promote health sector development and strengthen health systems through research, advocacy and participatory interventions, this side event aims to provide a platform for local governments and civil society organizations to share their experiences, challenges, and successes in implementing cross-sectoral collaborations in SRMNCAH+N issues.

The event aims to inspire broader adoption of these approaches worldwide by showcasing practical examples and effective strategies. The emphasis on local-level partnerships ensures that solutions are tailored to the unique needs and contexts of different communities, making them more sustainable and impactful.
