AGYW Demand- National Budget Advocacy to Show Us The Money On Health

Technical Support or Implementing Partners: Womandla Foundation Brief description and achievements: Engagement of AYW in decision making processes is critical and important in ensuring the priorities of AGYW are considered. Partnering with Womandla Foundation, 60 AGYW were trained in budget advocacy and monitoring and co-created a position paper which provided evidence needed for the National Budget Advocacy. The 60 trained AGYW engaged in community National Budget Consultations to advocate for the recognition of the Abuja declaration and allocation of 15% of the national health budget towards health. Online the project reached over 600 AGYW with messages they could use for such advocacy. A high level stakeholder meeting to present the position paper was organised and this linked AGYW leaders with policy makers including Member of Parliament.
