From April 2008 to April 2011, with the support of grants from the Ford Foundation and the United Nations Foundation (UNF) /United Nations Fund for International Partnerships (UNFIP), WHO and UNFPA developed and delivered a training programme for their staff entitled “Strengthening capacity of UNFPA and WHO to advocate for the integration of sexual and reproductive health issues into national development planning processes”. This project aimed to build capacity within UNFPA and WHO country offices to support SRH in national development and health-sector planning and budgeting processes, and in partnership with civil society organizations. It coincided with other capacity-building initiatives.
