Role of capacity building in gender and ethics in health system priority setting: Making universal health coverage truly universal
RinGs has actively built the capacity of health systems researchers and practitioners by providing direct support to ten health systems researchers to incorporate gender and ethics analysis into their research projects, including hosting a webinar on how to do gender analysis within health systems research, and compiling a list of ten gender analysis frameworks.
To make universal health (UHC) truly universal we need an approach which places gender and power at the centre of our analysis. This entails examining how gender affects who is included, which services are provided, how services are funded, who decides what is included and who provides services.
This poster describes the RinGs approach to capacity building through 1) developing the evidence base on gender and UHC; 2) advocating for the importance of incorporating gender within health priority setting and UHC approaches; and 3) building capacity of health systems researchers and practitioners to undertake gender and ethics analysis.
