Governance
Ensure Ministries of Health collaborate with their counterparts responsible for gender equity in policy development; ensure health systems oversight, regulation, design, accountability, and policy frameworks are gender-transformative (i.e., address the root causes of gender-based health inequalities and transform harmful gender roles, norms, and relations); ensure a gender balance at all levels of governance structures; create a culture of gender sensitivity and integrate gender into all decision-making, including gender-responsive budgeting; and meaningfully engage communities regarding gender, rights, accountability, and health to inform policy and practice.
