DaWarsBro-

I think you are right. Based on the recent Oct 7th Kallo meeting, one can reasonably assume that Kallo reps. might be here as well.

A tweet from Ghana Health Nest, a group I follow on Twitter.

SDG is short for Sustainable Development Goals.

The First Regional Forum on Strengthening Health Systems for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Universal Health Coverage (UHC) with the theme Healthy systems, healthy people: Making universal health coverage (UHC) work for Africa will take place in Windhoek, Namibia on 8-13 December 2016.
The Forum, organized by the World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa, will initiate the WHO Africa Region’s actions towards implementation of the health SDG and Universal Health Coverage. In particular, the Forum:

Aims to bring the technical leadership of Ministries of Health together with partners and other stakeholders to share experiences and agree on an African approach to building sustained, resilient and robust health systems.
Will aid countries to create a set of common measurable actions needed to develop effective health systems across the region.
Will be a platform where they can discuss ways to ensure that the appropriate investments are made over time and be able to conduct peer reviews of progress and results.
Will establish systems and mechanisms for regular communication, peer learning and exchange of experience between technical experts and stakeholders.
In September 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted the SDGs, of which Goal 3 addresses health, underpinned by a target on UHC. The health goal, among others, addresses the unfinished Millennium Development Goals (MDG) agenda as well as incorporates emerging issues such as non-communicable diseases, injury prevention and environmental health. The SDGs therefore require effective health systems in countries, with services that are designed and distributed towards achieving UHC.

The conference will be attended by more than 200 technical experts from Ministries of Health, development organizations, donors, NGOs and civil society, and the United Nations System.
