Parliamentary Advisory Committee
Parliamentary activities: the Parliamentary Advisory Committee
DSW’s all party group on SRHR, the Parliamentary Advisory Committee (PAC) – founded in 2003 – works to ensure that the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Cairo Plan of Action (PoA) are implemented. To this end, the Committee, consisting of Members of Parliament from all political parties represented in the German Bundestag, organises hearings and resolutions, as well as public events in the German Parliament to motivate the German government to sustain and scale up its support for SRHR, the Cairo PoA as a means to achieve the MDGs.
DSW’s PAC meets frequently to discuss internal advisory matters, co-ordinate future activities and to meet with representatives of relevant high-level organisations and agencies, such as the UNFPA, IPPF and the World Bank.
DSW serves as PAC’s secretariate by informing, facilitating, exploring, networking and offering forums for discussing SRHR, HIV/AIDS related development issues in a comprehensive manner. DSW also supports PAC in the organisation of meetings, events such as the G8 International Parliamentary Conference on Economic Rewards for Investing in HIV/AIDS and Health in May 2007.
Additionally, DSW hosted a SRHR Study Tour for PAC-members to Ethiopia in February 2007, offering in depth knowledge on the health situation on the ground and thus encouraging their engagement of the future.
