A three-day workshop on advocacy was also held in Cameroon in October 2010. It aimed at equipping the participants with knowledge and capacities to develop and implement advocacy actions on relevant pharmaceutical issues. The pharmacists and other health professionals who attended, committed themselves to start advocating on issues relevant to their organizations and to work in order to improve the services they offer.
The “How to manual” on Advocacy for Drug Supply Organizations and Church Health Institutions was developed for an EPN workshop in 2006. EPN staff has recently finalized a second edition of the manual in French.
