Call for Papers and Posters
The Organizing Committee warmly invites you to submit abstracts on 8 APCRSHR. The topics may include the latest, state-of-the-art research, policy and programme evidence, service delivery systems, advocacy and communication efforts on the different elements of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) especially with respect to the most vulnerable populations with an emphasis on equity, inclusiveness and rights.
The selection of oral presentations and posters for presentation will be based on the quality of submissions and their relevance to the conference tracks (Track 1: Laws and Policies, Track 2: Governance and Accountability, Track 3: Financing, Track 4: SRH integrating in Health Services, and Track 5: Others).
The review of submissions will be guided by the objectives and tracks of the conference, but the scientific committee will give full consideration to abstracts related to other themes relevant to SRHR, and may create additional sessions or tracks to accommodate these. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 30 September 2015.
A panel of national and international reviewers/experts will anonymously review all submissions. A limited number of scholarships will be provided by the Organizing Committee to the presenters of selected papers.
Standard parallel sessions will be one hour and thirty minutes for three speakers and will include time for discussion from the floor.
