Meet Our Advisory Group and Secretariat
CSEM Advisory Group
The CSEM advisory group is a key element of civil society representation in UHC2030. The advisory group links the global and national levels, ensures representativeness of CSO diversity, sets constituency priorities based on national inputs and acts as a technical hub. The group is composed of 18 members, including the three CSO representatives (and their alternates) to the steering committee. The CSEM advisory group is responsible for:
- Consulting with the national CSO group representatives and the wider constituency on a regular basis
- Commenting and providing feedback on UHC2030 policies and guidelines
- Contributing to UHC2030 working groups to raise CSO voices
- Strengthening the capacity of national-level CSOs to better engage in national health policy processes
- Consulting, proposing, and developing a mechanism for better coordination with other global health initiatives
- Supporting CSO representatives in promoting constituency views and positions in the Steering Committee
- Developing tools for each level of the CSO involvement in UHC2030
