The Advocacy Working Group (AWG) leads a global, coordinated advocacy, outreach, and communications effort to foster the introduction and scale-up of self-care interventions within health systems. The AWG aims to grow and provide a community of and for individuals and organizations currently or interested in advancing self-care through policy, programmatic, and public advocacy at global, regional, national, and subnational levels. Intended to be a sharing, learning, and incubation forum, the AWG strives to bring more people into the self-care fold, linking and connecting with established coalitions to socialize self-care as a cross-cutting solution for promoting broader health, well-being, and rights.
Elevate the promise and practice of self-care among global, regional, and national influencers, policymakers, and opposition.
Ensure self-care is identified as a core component of universal health coverage and included in all relevant guidance, policies, and funding.
Provide opportunities for self-care advocates to learn, collaborate, and align around common advocacy strategies, practices, and targets.
Please fill out the form to indicate your interest. Participation in working groups is limited to SCTG members.
The Self-Care for UHC Advocacy Toolkit aims to equip self-care champions with the resources to effectively advocate for the inclusion of self-care in health systems and within universal health coverage (UHC). Created in partnership with SCTG members from around the world, the toolkit includes resources like a self-care messaging framework, frequently asked questions, common self-care terms, a policy brief template, and an explainer on the relationship between self-care and UHC.
