GLOBAL ADVOCACY & COMMUNICATIONS WORKING GROUP

The Global Advocacy & Communications Working Group (GAC) leads a coordinated advocacy, outreach, and communications effort at the global and regional levels to support a joint advocacy strategy for the introduction and scale-up of self-care interventions within health systems.

SELF-CARE FOR UHC
ADVOCACY TOOLKIT

The SCTG is launching tools aimed to equip self-care champions with the resources they need to e ectively advocate for the inclusion of self-care in health systems and universal health coverage (UHC). The toolkit includes resources that provide messages to use with priority audiences, answer frequently asked questions, de ne common self-care terms, provide a template for a policy brief, illustrate the relationship between self-care and UHC, and explain the vision and purpose of the SCTG. The tools have been created in partnership with SCTG members from around the world to ensure the tools meet the needs of advocates and self-care champions.
