The WPS-HA Compact Secretariat is excited to host its fifth Thematic Knowledge Session for Compact Signatories.
The sessions are structured around the Compact’s five thematic areas, as well as other critical, cross-cutting, or emerging areas, and will enable Signatories to exchange with other Signatories and thematic experts on their selected Compact actions, share progress on implementation, and forge connections for collaboration.
The upcoming session will be held on 6 July, 9:00-11:00 am EDT and it will focus on Women’s Economic Security and Access to Resources and Other Essential Services.
