Civil Society brings stakeholders together in Sierra Leone to address nutrition and immunization

On 29^th May 2015, the Western Area Civil Society Platform on Health and Nutrition Sierra Leone (HaNSL) held a stakeholders meeting to discuss the importance of immunization and nutrition. The event was organisased with the support of Focus 1000 in Freetown, to bring all stakeholders together under one umbrella, on one platform, to speak with one voice – for the prioritization of nutrition and immunization.

Chair of the event, Abdul K. Swarray highlighted the tremendous efforts made by the government to date although certain gaps remained. He shared that the Civil Society Platform, established as a result of the high level political commitment from the government by joining the SUN Movement, has led to the decentralisation of civil society groups in eleven districts to advocate for and hold stakeholders accountable to commitments made.
