EVENT BACKGROUND

The UN Secretary-General’s Independent Accountability Panel for Every Woman Every Child is launching a landmark report entitled Caught in the COVID-19 storm: progress and accountability for women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health in the context of UHC and SDGs  at this year’s High-Level Political Forum (HLPF). 

This flagship virtual high-level side event, co-hosted by the Governments of Japan, South Africa and Georgia aims to: 

  • Bring visibility to the critical importance of health accountability as a practical tool to ensure countries deliver on the promise of universal health coverage for women, children, adolescents and those furthest left behind—especially as COVID-19 threatens to disrupt progress and reverse the gains
  • Energize and inspire stakeholders to act on the IAP recommendations to strengthen social-political accountability, especially at the country-level, and make health accountability everyone’s business
  • Set the scene and build momentum toward follow-up planned throughout the year, to ensure all add unique value while contributing to a cohesive narrative

Co-Organizers: Every Woman Every Child Secretariat, Independent Accountability Panel, International Health Partnership for UHC 2030 (UHC2030) and the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH)
