Parliaments urged to use evidence-based oversight to hold duty bearers accountable on climate, health, and SRHR
A call has been made for Parliamentarians to strategically leverage their oversight powers to demand transparency and ensure that governments address the interconnected challenges of climate change, health, and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
The call was made by Mr. Munashe Tofa, Programme Manager for Climate Change, Environment, Health and SRHR at the SADC Parliamentary Forum (SADC PF), during a workshop on strengthening evidence-based policymaking this week.
