Advancing Food Systems Transformation: Dialogue between German Development Cooperation and CGIAR

2.1.1. Politics is still a male domain that many women have found unwelcoming or even hostile. Societies in which traditional or patriarchal values remain strong may frown on women entering politics. On the other hand women are often more likely than men to face practical barriers to entering politics, including a paucity of financial resources, lower levels of education, less access to information, greater family responsibilities, and a deprivation of rights that has left them with fewer opportunities to acquire political experience. Women also generally lack the political networks necessary for electoral success and barriers to women’s political participation are often magnified in crises societies. These may be characterised by militarism, a volatile security situation, the political dominance of a small group of (typically male) elites, the absence of well-established political parties, the failure to include women in peace nego-tiations and the bodies created for peace implementation, and other limiting factors. When political parties are based more on prominent personalities associated with a faction in conflict than on issue-focused platforms and programmes, it is harder for women to emerge as political leaders
The process of developing a PRS varies greatly because it takes place in different countries, under different kinds of governments and circumstances. In general, though, the process can be thought of in terms of several phases, although certain elements, particularly participatory processes, may run throughout.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

• Staying true to the evidence and moving evidence to
policy actions
• Engaging early, consistently, and tactfully with
policymakers – on issues whether controversial or

– Improved implementation, accountability, etc.
14. Partners in Population and Development (PPD)

• High level meetings for African Ministers of Finance and Health –
organized on the sidelines of FP International conferences
• Annual PPD inter-ministerial conferences
• Regional RH network meetings (EARHN, WARHN) meetings
• Several country level advocacy and policy engagement meetings-
(mainly in Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Malawi and Senegal)
15. Partners in Population and Development (PPD)
Some of the policy engagement achievements
• Developed parliamentary leadership for, and commitment to, RH/FP in the region (NEAPACOH);
• Built First Lady Champions for reduction of maternal and child mortality. The organization of
African First Ladies Against HIV/AIDS (OFLA) widened its mandate to include RH in their
advocacy agenda;
• In Uganda, increase in the budget for FP, from $0.5 million in FY2009/2010 to $7.6 million in
FY2014/2015) and 100% utilization of the FP/RH budget;
• In Ethiopia, increase in national budget for FP/RH from $30 million in 2013/2014 to $47 million
in 2015/16 representing a 57% increase. First ever parliamentary forum of population, FP/RH
and development formed;
• In Malawi, a budget line for FP created with a total of $139,000 for FY 2015/2016 increasing to
$162,000 in the FY2015/16. At the policy level, a bill on raising the age of marriage for girls
from 15 to 18 years was passed;
• In Ghana, a total of 4714 community health nurses trained to deliver a comprehensive package
of FP services during FY 2014/2015;
• In countries e. g Rwanda, Kenya, Senegal, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, etc parliamentarians
are increasingly making strong statements in support of FP/RH in their parliaments.
16. Partners in Population and Development (PPD)
Challenges of engaging policy makers
• Different backgrounds (e.g. education, profession, experiences
and capacities).
• Different levels of appreciation of (sometimes) complex issues
• Frequent and/or high turnover of elected policy makers
• Environment of scarce resources with competing needs
• The implementation RH commitments may sometimes not
necessarily be the top priority of policy makers
• Societal influences- policymakers need to be convinced that
championing RH has minimal political risk
• Handling the perceived expectations – where is money ??
• Lack of resources to support country and regional level policy
engagements
16
17. Partners in Population and Development (PPD)
Data-related challenges
Concerns with population-related data:
• Quality
• Reliability
• Packaging
• Presentation - who is presenting the data?
• Credibility
• Mind your language (language sensitivity e.g.
SRHR, abortion, Comprehensive sexuality
education.. etc)
17
18. Partners in Population and Development (PPD)
Data-related challenges (cont’d)
Presentation of Data
• Is the meaning clear? Compared to what?
– Examples:
• MMR of Uganda is high at 336 per 100,000 live
births
• Uganda’s high pop. growth rate of 3 % per annum
• Uganda’s high fertility rate of 5.4
• Linkages of FP/RH with Poverty
– Have we made a compelling case?
– Is the causality relationship clear to everyone?
18
19. Partners in Population and Development (PPD)
Data-related challenges (cont’d)
Is the data relevant to the local situation?
For example,
– Does it address a topical issue?
– Is it striking? – how can we make data/evidence
speak like an ebola outbreak?
– Does it address a large proportion of the
population?
– Does it have impact (at relatively low cost)?
19
20. Partners in Population and Development (PPD)
Other challenges
Lack of conclusive, definitive evidence for decision
Decision making processes that do not fully embracing
use of evidence to influence policy direction
Resistance by interest groups and desire of policy
makers to maintain the status quo
Complex or conflicting policy issues and mandates
touching on deeply held values, beliefs or vested
interests
Absence of personal contact between researchers and
policy makers, mutual distrust, poor quality research
21. Partners in Population and Development (PPD)
Opportunities
Entry points to managing data for policy engagement:
• Re-packaging of data/information e.g. Policy briefs
• Remember politicians like to be informed and look
smart!
• What is the policy maker focused on currently? Is it
Universal Primary Education, Poverty Eradication,
Gender, HIV/AIDS, etc
• Policy makers feel ‘good’ when they make a difference
in peoples’ lives
• Does it give political mileage? As policy makers, what is
in there for them? E.g. Does it attract votes?
21
22. Partners in Population and Development (PPD)
Overcoming challenges with policy engagement
• An external scan of what is happening outside the
organization that may impact strategy is a MUST
– Political situation and policy processes
– Socio economic environment
– Timing of the issue and ongoing events
– Activities of other organizations
– Policy and decision makers knowledge about the issue
– Influential actors who may oppose or support your
advocacy issues
– Other potential obstacles or opportunities
23. Partners in Population and Development (PPD)
Overcoming challenges cont’d…
• Engaging policy makers right from programme design
• Personal contact between researchers and policy
makers
• Evidence that is localized and makes a compelling
case
• Evidence that is generated and presented (or co-
presented ) by government agencies – partnerships
• Positioning as partners and not activists
• Engagement for “quick wins”
• Up-to-date, timeliness and relevant evidence

31. Partners in Population and Development (PPD)
1. Facilitating and working with policy makers is an investment worth
undertaking.
2. Investing in a critical mass of SRHR/FP champions yields results
3. Working through strong partnerships and cross-sector collaborations with
national, regional and international organisations presents useful synergies
and a wide range of opportunities
4. Policy engagement is not necessarily a long-term process but should be
backed by coherent short-term action plans that deliver short- term objectives
(quick wins)
5. Advocacy approach using AFP SMART portfolio is effective
