Regional Health Office (RHO) Stakeholders Meeting

Embassy in Accra. The meeting aimed to engage key stakeholders in the health sector in West Africa on the RHO's strategic direction from 2015 to 2019. The RHO values partnerships and coordination, emphasizing the need for inclusive and cross-border collaboration.

Emerging themes from the meeting highlighted the importance of partnerships and coordination. Partnerships and coordination are crucial for addressing opportunities and gaps in the health sector.

The RHO should also leverage technology to communicate health sector gaps. Integrated reproductive health and HIV services are essential, particularly for adolescents.

The RHO should conceptualize health more than through a bio-medical approach, considering behavioral issues in the sub-region. The RHO should identify issues first and incorporate sustainability from the project onset. Creating a platform for everyone to learn about areas not working is necessary. The RHO should consider a cross-sector approach, integrating emergency humanitarian work, adaptation, and resilience. The RHO should also focus on programming and policies that promote service integration and task sharing.

The RHO should gather the voice of stakeholders and provide mechanisms for social and health care. Establishing sustainability from the project onset is
