Abstract

On 17 July 2024, the Population Council and UN Foundation's Universal Access Project co-hosted a timely discussion on addressing women’s health in global supply chains and latest efforts to drive corporate action on worker health and wellbeing.

The Population Council presented a case study of public-private partnership in providing family planning services to garment workers in Egypt. And it put the study in context with its past initiatives in Asia—in Bangladesh and Cambodia—on workplace health programs and policies.

The UN Foundation’s Universal Access Project led a panel discussion with business, development, and NGO experts on the state of workplace health and wellbeing initiatives, on connections to climate resilience and effective stakeholder engagement, and on next steps to engage corporate champions.

Speakers included:

- Peter Mollema, Ambassador of the Netherlands to Egypt
- Dilly Severin, UN Foundation/Universal Access Project
- Thoai Ngo, Population Council
- David Wofford, UN Foundation/Universal Access Project
- Ashish Bajracharya, Population Council
- Nahla Abdel Tawab, Population Council
- Sarah Craven, UNFPA
- Emily Janoch, Thought Leadership at CARE/USA
- Komala Ramachandra, Gap, Inc.
