Women Deliver provided a letter of reference in support of Dakshitha Wickremarathne for the youth seat on the Every Woman Every Child Independent Accountability Panel and he was appointed. The Panel will produce its first preliminary report before the end of 2016, ideally by the UN General Assembly in September. This report will provide an independent assessment of progress and challenges to help strengthen the response from the international health community and countries.To learn more about the panel, visit http://www.everywomaneverychild.org/accountability/independent-accountability-panel.
