Advocacy and Policy Committee

Advocacy and policy play pivotal roles in addressing infectious diseases and advancing global health by shaping funding priorities, promoting equitable access to healthcare, and driving coordinated responses to outbreaks. The committee aims at planning advocacy activities for IDA, coordinate advocacy efforts across the membership, ensuring a unified voice on key infectious disease issues. It serves as a space for members to share insights, strategies, and opportunities for joint advocacy. Members have an opportunity to work together on global campaigns, policy statements, and strategies to influence governments and international institutions such as the WHO, UNEP, and UN.
