What are the key issues in the good governance of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR)? How can one negotiate the complex political and financial terrain when developing policies and strategic plans? Maternal health, family planning, adolescent health, abortion and HIV, and the policies and strategies that address these, are among the most internationalised and to some extent politicised of all health issues.
This course will enable you to analyse and review SRHR policy from a governance, finance and human right perspective.
This course can be taken as part of the Master in Public Health and Health Equity as part of the SRHR track or Tailor Made track, or as standalone course. Participants will leave with advanced knowledge and skills essential for performing policy analysis.
