2008 PCC Meeting in Kampala. Uganda

The second annual PCC meeting for the Africa Region was held 23-27 September 2008 also in Kampala, Uganda. Similar to the 2008 meeting, participation by Partner Country Coordinators (PCCs) at this meeting was over 90 percent. In addition non-member collaborating country representatives (Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania) and other guests representing donors, collaborating organizations and outside partners attended the meeting.

The main objectives of the meetings were to review the implementation of South–South programmes by member countries, to share experiences, strengths, lessons and good practices and to plan future efforts for south-south collaboration for reproductive health and population and development.

Capacity building sessions focusing on advocacy, resource mobilization and leadership for reproductive health both at country level as well as within the African region were held. PCCs found the sessions useful and acknowledged that these were crucial in enhancing their work.

Recommendations made from the 2008 meeting were that a country South-South taskforce or Deputy PCC should be put in place (with support of additional staff in-country), to build capacity for resource mobilization at country, network and regional level, have a communication strategy for PCCs and re-invigorate the Southern Africa Reproductive Health Advocacy Network (SARHN) and Western Africa Reproductive Health Advocacy Network (WARHN).
