By mobilizing our networks and participating in key national and international advocacy events we reach the decision-makers directly. Securing a policy environment favorable to overall development, especially of poor people, is a key aspect of Eminence mission: “to create a society where the people live in equity and health justice with their maximum potential.” Formation of Non Communicable Disease Forum (NCD-F), Bangladesh Urban Health Network (BUHN), Common Interest Group against Tobacco (CIGAT) and Bangladesh Nutrition and Food Security Network (BNFSN) has been in response to the imperative health and development needs of the general people of the country. As one of the leading advocates in the field of public health and social development, Eminence is engaged in regular dialogues with government and other national institutions.
