Capacity Strengthening in Policy Analysis & Advocacy

The MCH-STAR initiative is committed to strengthening the capacity of SSIs to conduct policy analyses, write White Papers and Policy briefs, influence policy change, facilitate information and policy platforms, build coalitions and alliances, and implement advocacy activities and campaigns by linking to research and evaluation findings and available data.
