Policy tools from Colombia, Ghana, Kenya and Vietnam:
Karisma, KELIN, NAP+ Ghana, Universidad de los Andes, and VNP+ use evidence generated collaboratively and work with Community Advisory Teams, with a focus on youth leadership and engagement, to develop national advocacy plans, which they lead in each country.
On gender and rights in digital health strategies
The Warwick team worked with WHO's Digital Health and Innovation Department and Gender, Equity and Rights Department to review national digital health strategies and identify gaps on gender, rights and inclusion. WHO is now leading a strategic initiative to address these gaps, in collaboration with DHRP.
On strengthening gender and human rights in digital health for donor agencies:
STOPAIDS worked with the Developed Country NGO delegation of the Global Fund to develop a report on how the Fund can better address human rights. Since then, the Fund has adapted their grant guidance to include digital rights, meaning that recipient countries should be able to access funding for digital rights work in future. Warwick also supported German development agency GIZ to develop guidance on gender-responsive digital health.
On human rights in the digital age
As a consortium, with leadership from Privacy International, we support the mandates of UN Special Rapporteurs and other special procedures, and consult across our consortium to make joint submissions to UN and other human rights mechanisms. These are based on international human rights standards and robust evidence.
