NATIONAL Self-Care
networks
NSNs pursue specific policy and advocacy priorities and, in collaboration
with the global SCTG, develop learning mechanisms around the extent to which national self-care guidelines promote scale-up of quality, affordable self-care for those in need.
NSNs prioritize community sensitization on self-care and social
accountability mechanisms to ensure that top-down policy and guidelines
changes take root at the individual and community level.
NSNs also engage grassroots networks and communities in mobilizing
demand and social accountability for self-care policies and programs
in these countries.

OUR
PRESENCE
Across SCTG focus countries, our National Self-Care Networks (NSN) lead a consultative process
to define a coordinated advocacy strategy for self-care, which includes, but is not limited to:
- Development of consolidated national self-care guidelines or integrating principles and practices of self-care into existing policies/guidelines.
- Engage target policymakers and influencers in supporting self-care and instituting self-care policies and financing at national and subnational levels.
- Increasing demand and accountability for self-care among target communities and constituencies, particularly engagement with broader advocacy opportunities for family planning, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and bodily autonomy.
