EMA officially accepted as a participant in the WHO Civil Society Commission – A New Milestone for Global Engagement

We’re thrilled to announce that the Erasmus Mundus Association (EMA) has been officially accepted as a participant of the World Health Organization (WHO) Civil Society Commission.

This is a major milestone for our global community of students and alumni. Following our involvement in the WHO Youth4Health network (hosted by WHO Europe), we are now able to participate in the WHO Civil Society Commission, attend and participate in regular general and ad hoc meetings, take responsibility according to the division of labor, and make meaningful contributions in connection with the work and activities of the Civil Society Commission and its working groups.

The WHO Civil Society Commission’s participants consist of non-governmental organizations, including grassroots community organizations, civil society groups and networks, faith-based organizations, professional groups, and patient groups. It is expected to have representation from a cross section of civil society organizations from different income settings and geographical areas, as well as global, regional, national, and local levels. More information can be found here.

We warmly invite EMA members who have experience working with WHO or who are passionate about shaping global health policy to get involved. Sign up here to be part of EMA’s efforts and make a meaningful impact together.
