governance
The Secretariat supports the coalition-building functions of the Self-Care Trailblazer Group (SCTG) – including operations, administration, communications, outreach, and global advocacy as well as deliverables for the SCTG’s programmatic elements and reporting to donors. The Secretariat’s coalition-building role is guided by the Coalition Steering Committee (CSC), while the Program Advisory Committee (PAC) oversees its programmatic functions.
Population Services International (PSI) houses the staff that makes up the SCTG Secretariat through 2023, at which time this function will shift to a new host that can more closely support coalition and programmatic functions in the Global South.

STRATEGY
The Self-Care Trailblazer Group’s work is guided by a Strategic Plan that outlines its vision, goals, and objectives for the five-year period from January 2021 through December 2025. The plan reflects a new phase for the SCTG, when evidence, policies, and practices to advance self-care are poised to be increasingly localized and their potential increasingly broadened.
