This would ensure that NSAs can engage in decision-making processes in a transparent and inclusive manner.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\u25cf\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\u25cf&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"8\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Improve the process for constituency statements, for instance, information should be shared at least two months before the governing body meetings and the option for also doing individual statements maintained to allow for a more nuanced and representative expression of diverse views and input.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\u25cf\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\u25cf&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"9\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Enhance information-sharing and logistical arrangements for NSA participation in governing body meetings, for instance, systematically providing comprehensive pre-meeting information, ensuring space for NSAs in the main rooms, regular communication about schedules, including on evening sessions, and allowing for video statements to facilitate the presence and voices of NSAs, particularly those who face logistical, health and financial challenges.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In conclusion, it is crucial that consultations continue to take place on the involvement of NSAs in WHO governing bodies to continuously build inclusive and transparent ways of working.
