American Cancer Society in China Prior to the UICC Conference: Hosting Advocacy Workshop, Participating in Global Health Partnerships Program

American Cancer Society Chief Operating Officer Greg Bontrager (center) speaks with workshop participants in Hong Kong.

 

Prior to the start of the UICC World Cancer Congress 2010 in Shenzhen, China, the American Cancer Society hosted the final workshop as part of its Asia Regional Cancer Control Program in Hong Kong from August 12-15. More than 30 representatives from the program’s ten grantee organizations attended the event, which focused on cancer control advocacy principles and practices. The workshop featured regional guest speakers such as Jack Sim, a global activist for water and sanitation facilities in low-resource settings, Ken Hanioka and Ryoji Noritake of Health Policy Institute Japan, Ratih Hardjono, a prominent advocacy and communications expert based in Indonesia, and representatives of the Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society. American Cancer Society Immediate Past President Elizabeth “Terry” Fontham, MPH, DrPH, presented a module on advocacy collaborations. American Cancer Society Chief Operating Officer Greg Bontrager facilitated an executive roundtable to discuss advocacy as it relates to program sustainability as well as future engagement of the Society with regional stakeholders. Grantees developed national advocacy workplans as part of the workshop and identified areas of regional overlap. Attendees also offered input on the Society’s global advocacy strategy and ideas for mobilizing grassroots partners throughout Southeast Asia in a noncommunicable disease campaign. The workshop was funded through a grant to the American Cancer Society by the Pfizer Foundation and was attended by Pfizer Asia representatives. The grant-funded program will continue through December 2010.

  

In addition, American Cancer Society staff participated in a workshop for Global Health Partnerships initiative grantees in Shenzhen, China, in advance of the UICC World Cancer Congress 2010. The workshop convened cancer and tobacco control organizations from around the world to discuss program sustainability. The American Cancer Society manages three projects funded by the initiative: the Asia Regional Cancer Control Program, the Latin America Regional Health Grants Program, and the Smokefree at Work (Travaillons Sans Fumee) program in North Africa. Collectively, these programs have directly engaged a total of 32 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and nearly 150,000 stakeholders (including screened individuals, companies, policymakers, youth, and volunteers), and reached millions through informational materials, media, and research. American Cancer Society staff Johanna Ralston, vice president, Global Strategies, and Alessandra Durstine, vice president, Regional Programs, presented at the workshop on strategic fundraising and grassroots advocacy for noncommunicable disease. In addition, eight Asia program grantees were supported through the American Cancer Society’s grant to attend the workshop and UICC conference. The Global Health Partnerships initiative is funded by Pfizer Foundation and Pfizer, Inc. The American Cancer Society has been a grantee since 2007 and the Society’s grant-funded programs will continue through 2010 and early 2011.

I use Dr. Bronners 13 all in one peppermint hemp oil soap. The liquid. It comes in a 16oz Bottle that lasts me for months, as it only takes a few drops. The bottle is a #1 PETE bottle, so it is recyclable. Once in a while I Use Dr. Bonner's lavendar soap, but mostly the peppermint- besides it tingles your naughty parts!, http://www.aussiefortunescasino.com/ casino games online, %-[,

Double sink double drainer, plastic bowl in each sink. Depending on quantity of dishes and assuming you have an efficient quick electric kettle, boil half to whole kettle of water for first bowl add cold water as needed and detergent. Start with cleanest items first and dirtiest last, scraping off excess food into compost pot. Pile washed items into second bowl. When all dishes done, drizzle cold water over items to rinse off suds. Minimal water used. 27 gallons of water for 12 places? I could do it for two gallons. As for bugs, the more our kids get when they are young the more immunised they become and less resistant to antibiotics later in life., http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/10/prweb10046029.htm does nisim work, =)),

Hi Jennifer welcome! We all order more seeds than we could possibly use and I'm not sure it gets better with more experience! Sort of like food shopping while you're hungry. ;) Can you let me know where you're gardening and/or what hardiness zone you're growing in? Makes it a little more fun to know a bit about where each person is gardening., http://www.onlinebingoaustralia.com.au/ play bingo online, 327,

yes bo i'm shocked into action by your choice of the word CHEAT'. not in fulfilling my dreams but in writing my comments. i don't really understand why you use the word CHEAT' when what you are talking about is clearly not cheating at all! it is just trying to be CREATIVE in fulfilling your dreams. not cheating! it really sucked reading the line FRIEND, CHEAT!'. why not changed it to FRIEND, BE CREATIVE!'? maybe i'm just a poor dumb person who can't understand and accept your use of the word CHEAT' in your article. maybe you guys have much higher level of intelligence and understanding in accepting the word CHEAT' and CHEATING' in this article. anyway this is just my own honest opinion. not meant to offend anyone., http://hyperghx-14.net/ hypergh 14x reviews, rgynlf,

I do not know whether these people agree with your criticism, but certainly, Jesus of the Bible and other religious teachings of many who say things like hierdie.Dit is not a bad person today, they want to use these technologies wanted. It just shows that their actual work for thousands of years ago and today's teachers are teaching the same way successful, obviously they are eternal and true., http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/10/prweb10040248.htm pk24 review, 36181,
