Overview
Students And Youth Working on Reproductive Health Action Team (SAYWHAT) is a Southern African Regional public health advocacy institution with 20 years of experience in championing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) of young people (students, youth, adolescents, and children). Its programming efforts aim to promote the health and well-being of adolescents and youth through capacity development, service provision, information dissemination and advocacy. The organization is inclined to social behavioral change communication models which argue that young people can make informed health choices if they are provided with age appropriate, scientifically proven and culturally sensitive sexuality information and education.
SAYWHAT regional influence is coordinated through the Southern Africa Regional Students and Youth Conference (SARSYC). Since 2015, the conference has biannually been a forum for young people to engage with policymakers, development partners and civil society from across the Southern African Development community (SADC) to discuss innovative and collaborative efforts towards youth-centric education and health policies. Following the successful hosting of four editions, in 2015 (Zimbabwe), 2017 (South Africa), 2019 (Zambia) and 2022 (Malawi); SAYWHAT will convene the 5th edition of SARSYC (SARSYC V) from the 17th to the 19th of July 2024 in partnership with University of Botswana as the host partner in Gaborone, Botswana.
SAYWHAT is therefore seeking the services of an individual consultant or firm capable of providing rapporteur services for SARSYC V.
Scope of Work
