The Ministry of Health Strengthens its Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights Advocacy through a National Capacity Building Workshop

The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Nutrition, in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), UN Women, and the Government of Canada, recently hosted a two-day workshop focused on strengthening advocacy efforts around Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in Saint Lucia. The SMART Advocacy Capacity Building Workshop brought together key stakeholders including health authorities, non-governmental organizations, youth advocates, and civil society representatives. The initiative aimed to enhance participants’ capacity and support more strategic engagement in advancing SRHR policies and services across the island. The workshop forms part of ongoing efforts to promote inclusive, informed, and coordinated approaches to improving sexual and reproductive health outcomes in Saint Lucia.
