In order to tackle the Reproductive Health Supplies challenge, the partners of Countdown 2015 Europe organize activities on both European and national government level. The activities contribute to raise awareness among European decision makers and increase attention to RHS through decision-making processes at European and global level. Also, they try to build and coordinate a European civil society effort on RHS advocacy. For information on upcoming activities, please consult events.
Several activities have already been carried out under the banner of Countdown 2015 Europe. The activity reports below give more detailed information on recent activities and the results obtained.
