Hello members!
We are shifting these monthly messages from “Notes from the ED’s Desk” to “Community Highlights” and these messages will now come from me, Natty Kokolo, your dedicated community manager.
As we say goodbye to the first month of the year, it is with great enthusiasm — and an English/French dictionary by my side! — that I put together for you this list of upcoming IAPHL developments and activities.
Happy February,
Natty S. KOKOLO
IAPHL Community Manager

PARTNERSHIP UPDATES & COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES
Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition Network. IAPHL recently joined the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition Network, which brings together public, private, and non-governmental organizations to increase access to a full range of affordable, quality reproductive health supplies in low- and middle-income countries. We look forward to figuring out how IAPHL can contribute and exploring partnership and collaboration opportunities.
Looking for partners to advance IAPHL focus areas. In 2024, IAPHL will be focusing on five areas:
-
Building talent pipelines
-
Youth & young professionals
-
Gender
-
Technology & digital transformation
-
Clean & sustainable supply chain practices
Do you represent or work on these issues? Would you like to explore how IAPHL can contribute to achieving your objectives? If so, please reach out to iaphl@jsi.com — we would love to set up a time to generate ideas and partnership options.
