  1. SOCIAL REINTEGRATION SWG Is just more than the economic empowerment of the affected women or survivors

  3. WORK PROGRESS OF SR SWG IN 2011 Few members of the group had previously been involved in the group: 3 out of 13. However Ascertained that : • A chapter on SRS in different countries developed for publication in ISOFS journal; and called for input from members but only TERREWODE-Uganda and Fistula Foundation Nigeria responded • TERREWODE shared progress on mapping reintegration services in Uganda and DRC • WD started situational analysis on reintegration services, continuing with a mini-study with fistula survivors • Questionnaire ? • Process of developing social reintegration tools had started • Action Plan with a summary of recommendations • Attempts to make a conference call but not very successful

  4. CHALLENGES IDENTIFIED IN THE SOCIAL REINTEGRATION WORK • Challenges of communication within the SWG-difficulties of scheduling calls • Members too busy doing other work • No clear terms of reference • Lots to share but no effective mechanism for sharing it

  5. How the SWG could contribute to addressing the challenges: • Put in place clear objectives/TOR • A clear work plan with bench marks • Share information (upload) on the end fistula website • Identify what each members expected out of the SWG

  6. What Best Practices were identified by the SWG? Members felt prior planning was needed to respond to this question but based on WD-Tanzania ,TERREWODE’s-Uganda & Fistula Foundations-Nigeria experiences shared, identified the following; • Engagement with the various fistula stakeholders at all levels • Awareness raising on about the importance of Social Reintegration Services(SRS) • Empowerment of the affected women to lead the campaign to improve SRS for survivors

  7. Recommendations to improve effectiveness of SWG Identify what members wish to come out of the group: • Clarify on target groups are beneficiaries of SR • Develop workable action plan • MOUs • Net-working-More regular contact (6 monthly meet) • Guidelines for comprehensive package of SR • Sharing Experiences including study visits and agreeing the mechanism for uploading information on website • Bie-Monthly telephone call between members of the group • Recognition for work and participation. • As an avenue for fundraising

  8. Advocacy swg Should be separate, but with membership from other SWG Can not fully develop terms for a different group: • Advocacy is over-arching and cuts across all working groups should be done in a holistic way (may need representation from each group) • Define and agree on What advocacy meant for the group • Needs TOR • Identify elements and modes of advocacy • Identify target groups • Use existing opportunities for activism eg 16 days of violence against women

  9. Work Progress of Advocacy + Partners SWG 2011 • One group call June 13 • Participants: Carrie Ngongo (EngenderHealth), Heidi Breeze-Harris (0ne by One), Gillian Slinger (UNFPA), Iyeme Efem (Fistula Care Project/Nigeria), Etienne Franca (UNFPA), Erin Anastasi (UNFPA), Shafia Rashid (FCI)

  10. June 13 Proposed SWG activities • Making a list of partners working on advocacy related to fistula • Identifying which organizations are working with fistula advocates at country level • Identifying which countries have formulated national strategies on fistula • What are the common elements of these strategie • How can the release of the indicators on fistula be used to shape and influence these national strategies? (it was noted that the indicators are being finalized by the indicators, data and research SWG in the coming months) • Developing a list of advocacy tools – building on what has already been collected to-date  • Populate/update relevant pages and sections on the newly re-launched Campaign to End Fistula web site
