Inter-agency Working Group on Reproductive Health in Crises
Description
IAWG is a collaborative global coalition of individual and organizational members. Formed in 1995, IAWG includes 55 core member organizations, representing United Nations (UN) agencies, governments, international and national non-governmental organizations, universities, donors, and community-based organizations, as well as 4,000 individual members from 122 countries. IAWG’s greatest strength is its diverse membership.
IAWG provides unified leadership to advance policy, strengthen practice, mobilize resources and build accountability to ensure the sexual and reproductive health and rights of people affected by crises.
IAWG brings together humanitarian and development leaders to work on a comprehensive range of SRHR issues. The coalition is led by a 22-member Steering Committee and our members advance a shared agenda through participation in 13 sub-working groups, representing technical and cross-cutting areas of work. The coalition is coordinated by a secretariat hosted at the Women’s Refugee Commission.
