MATERNAL HEALTH POLICY DIALOGUE SERIES

____________________________

The MHTF, in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), is supporting the Maternal Health Policy Dialogue Series at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (WWIC) in Washington, DC. The series is covering a range of new and neglected maternal health issues, with a strategic focus on linkages to other development sectors such as transportation, gender equity, religion, and economic development. Tapping expertise from around the world, especially from experts working in developing countries, the series is being conducted in Washington and webcast live. Audiences for these dialogues at the Woodrow Wilson Center usually comprise senior-level policy makers and civil servants from the US Government and from foreign consuls and missions located in Washington DC.

The series will incorporate a variety of multimedia and outreach tools to both engage and reach practitioners, policy makers, academics, and other audiences in the United States and around the world.

Below are the lists of future and past programs. However, dates and times for future programs are dependent on the availability and confirmation of presenters. Check the WWIC and MHTF websites often for updates and announcements on confirmed event dates. We anticipate that these announcements will only post a few weeks in advance of each program.
