Too often participatory spaces remain a one time opportunity for people to voice their opinions in health.

Learn more on the criticality of sustaining engagement over time in chapter 7 of the HANDBOOK ON SOCIAL PARTICITPATION FOR #UHC

Human rights and public health go hand in hand. Legal frameworks for participation are not necessary for participation to happen but it can help to institutionalize participatory processes over the long term!

Check out chapter 6 of the HANDBOOK ON SOCIAL PARTICITPATION FOR #UHC

How can we ensure results from participatory processes are used for health decision-making? We know there is often a huge gap, but there are ways to ensure higher policy-uptake.

More in chapter 5 in the HANDBOOK ON SOCIAL PARTICITPATION FOR #UHC .

Capacities for social participation must be built on both sides: governments & population, communities and civil society!

Learn more about recognition, communication and technical skills in chapter 4 of the HANDBOOK ON SOCIAL PARTICITPATION FOR #UHC .

Representativeness is about getting the ‘right’ public w/ regards to the policy question at hand. Make sure to formulate the policy question precisely in order to build a participation strategy on it.

Check out chapter 3 of the HANDBOOK ON SOCIAL PARTICITPATION FOR #UHC .

New World Health Organization (WHO)! Check out the conference copy of the HANDBOOK ON SOCIAL PARTICITPATION FOR #UHC .

We need to tackle power relations to enable meaningful engagement with populations, communities & civil society for health-decision making.
