SUMMARY:Neglected Tropical Diseases and WASH\, Spotlight on Trachoma
DESCRIPTION:In honor of World Water Day on March 22 and the UN Conference on Water\, the Canadian Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases (CNNTD)\, in partnership with Operation Eyesight Universal and the University of Calgary\, Alberta Council for Global Cooperation\, highlight Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) as diseases needing equitable access to Water\, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) for their prevention and management. NTDs affect over 1.7 billion people (globally\, 1 in 5)\, most of whom live in under-resourced and underserved communities that lack access to water and sanitation and primary health care. Although the scale of NTDs as a public health problem makes the solutions seem daunting\, this session shares successes in NTD prevention and treatment globally that have been supported by Canadians within the global health community. One organization doing NTD elimination through global partnership is Operation Eyesight. The provision of clean water\, along with other critical efforts\, is preventing and supporting the treatment of Trachoma in Kenya\, Zambia and Ethiopia. Learn about impact stories\, WHO strategies to eliminate Trachoma and other NTDs\, and Canada’s contributions towards achieving health for all. \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Presentation and Discussion by Faysal El-Kak from the American University of Beirut\, Vice President of FIGO on sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) and gender equality and inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Location: IDRC offices: 45 O’Connor Street\, 6th Floor \nDate and time: March 28\, 2023 9:00 AM-10:30 AM \nTo attend virtually: Click here to join the meeting \n\nMeeting ID: 222 179 504 096\nPasscode: ngQyy9\n\nDespite the progress that have been made with sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) at the conceptual and practical levels\, challenges continue to deter the path to more equitable health outcomes for all. From COVID-19 epidemic threat to the inclusivity failure\, to legal and financial barriers\, and restrictive gender norms\, essential SRHR services are the first to fall out and to have its links to SDG2030 strained. Adolescents/youth\, refugees\, and women in menopausal transition are important to include in SRH\, as well as including SRH services in the essential package of health services remains a primary task. There is a need for a true representation of diversity of voices and variety of relevant partners to regain SRHR and strengthen its positioning globally to contribute to achievement of SDGs. Specific examples from an IDRC-funded project that examines sexual and reproductive rights and the link between these rights and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) among Syrian women refugees in Lebanon will be highlighted. \nDr Faysal El Kak is Vice President of FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics)\, a Director of the Women Integrated Sexual Health (WISH) Program and clinical associate of OBGYN and Female Sexual Dysfunction\, Department of OBGYN\, American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC)\, a senior lecturer of Health Behavior\, Sexuality and Public Health at the Faculty of Health Sciences at the American University of Beirut (AUB). He is involved in clinical and academic/research services in both academic and community levels\, this includes running a community clinic where he works on services\, research\, and advocacy related to Syrian refugee health and marginalized Lebanese in the host community\, especially women’s health. Dr El Kak has published two books on maternal mortality\, and several book chapters\, as well as many media articles and appearances. \nFor more information or to RSVP to attend in person\, please email Chaitali Sinha\, Senior Program Specialist at csinha@idrc.ca

However\, the authors of the World Bank’s 2023 World Development Report assert that if migration is managed well\, it can result in prosperity and help to achieve the SDGs. \nOn June 19\, join Aga Khan Foundation Canada and Cooperation Canada for an engaging discussion centered on the launch of the 2023 World Development Report. Join us to learn directly from the report’s 2023 Co-Director\, Çağlar Özden\, about the World Bank’s proposed framework to maximize the positive impact of global migration. \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Funding Community-Led Development for the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:Keynote\, Panel Discussion\, and Q&A 1:30pm-3:00pm \nRefreshments and Networking starting at 1:00pm \nLocation: \n515 Madison Ave\, NYC \n10th Floor\, The Taylor Room \nGlobal North funders and international NGO actors are increasingly recognizing what community-led organizations have long known: the way that international development is done needs to change to put affected communities in the drivers’ seat. \nThis Side Event during UNGA 78 and the SDG Summit will explore how shifting power and resources into the hands of local communities isn’t just about what is morally right and it isn’t just about equality in partnerships (although it is both of those things). Resourcing civil society organizations that are led by and for affected communities is essential to realizing the Sustainable Development Goals. \nHow are funders moving in this direction? What does getting long-term\, flexible support into the hands of community-led organizations and local actors look like in practice? What impact is this having and what are the ongoing challenges funders grapple with? \n\n\n\n\nHost Meg French\, Executive Director\, Stephen Lewis Foundation \nKeynote Address Twesigye Jackson Kaguri\, Founder and CEO\, Nyaka \nPanel \n\nChristine Sow\, President and CEO\, Humentum (moderator)\nMeg French\, Executive Director\, Stephen Lewis Foundation\nVahe Mirikian\, Director for US Policy\, Peace Direct\nWanja Ngure\, Program Manager Grantmaking\, UHAI-EASHRI\nother panelists to be announced\n\nRSVP requested for planning and food purposes \nAccessibility: The building and event room are wheelchair accessible with an elevator to the 10th floor. There are multi-stall gendered washrooms on the 10th floor as well as single stall\, accessible\, gender neutral washrooms on the 9th floor.
