Open to All Participants

BACKGROUND :

Accelerating progress towards universal health coverage (UHC) requires multi-stakeholder action, particularly to ensure accountability. Following UHC2030's successful engagement of a broad range of actors in the lead up to the UN High-Level Meeting on UHC (UN HLM) in September 2019, this side meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss how UHC2030 can further strengthen advocacy and accountability efforts of the UHC Movement and ensure that political leaders and other stakeholders are held accountable to deliver on their commitments to achieve Health for All.

OBJECTIVES :

The main objective of the side event is to share multi-stakeholder perspectives on ways to strengthen advocacy and accountability efforts under the UHC Movement. The discussion will provide an opportunity: - to present and seek feedback on the preliminary analytical framework underpinning the new State of UHC Commitment that UHC2030 is developing as a contribution to support the implementation of the UHC Political Declaration adopted in UN HLM; and - to share and discuss preliminary findings on who is left behind in access and utilization of health services, which provided a basis for potential strategies and solutions to deliver the promise of reaching the furthest behind first to achieve Health for All.
