Advocacy and Influence
PATA is a recognised regional advocate, collaborating closely with healthcare providers and their facilities to amplify healthcare provider voices and facilitate their participation in policy and decision-making processes. Their invaluable, first-hand experiences from the ground offer critical insights and solutions for addressing the gap between policy and practice.
To enhance our understanding of service delivery needs and challenges, we actively engage with frontline health providers through rapid assessments, surveys and focus group discussions. These approaches not only enhance our understanding of service delivery needs and gaps but also enable us to collect essential evidence to support our informed advocacy efforts.
