Support for Dissemination, Publication, and Advocacy was very limited. Also, funding to cover the time/contribution for the reviewers to accomplish the objectives.
This activity involved conducting a systematic review with professionals & expert members who required training and support. Once the training was completed, we conducted the review and published it in Plos Global Public Health Journal which had a wider readership within the context. This was a three-year work from Volunteers interested to contribute on this topic. We aim to advocate and disseminate the evidence widely for decision making nationally in the coming years.
