The Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI)  Health Security Budget Advocacy Academy for Civil Society Organizations.

The Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI) is inviting applications from civil society organizations (CSOs) from across Africa with a special emphasis on Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia to join the Health Security Budget Advocacy Academy for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to strengthen civil society capacity for budget advocacy in the Africa region.

GHAI in partnership with Resolve to Save Lives (RTSL) have been collaborating on the Prevent Epidemics program to raise public demand and political will for increased and sustained domestic resource mobilization for epidemic preparedness. GHAI’s country-led advocacy approach brought together policy leaders, civil society organizations and media in support of epidemic preparedness as a national priority in need of adequate and reliable funding.

Drawing from the lessons learned since 2018, GHAI developed the Budget Advocacy Toolkit for Epidemic Preparedness: Facilitator’s Guide a step-by-step course for facilitators to teach epidemic preparedness advocacy techniques to officials in government and civil society organization advocates. The Facilitator’s Guide was developed based on GHAI’s Budget Advocacy Toolkit for Epidemic Preparedness to illustrate the program’s advocacy approach and provide learning tools to bring Prevent Epidemics budget advocacy to scale in multiple countries through workshops and potentially online learning platforms.
