From the 22^nd of November up to the 9^th of December, a marathon of CSO Orientation workshops were held in the five provinces that MeTA Zambia is operating in. These included North Western, Copperbelt, Central Lusaka and Southern Provinces. Presentations were made by pharmacists, Doctors and the MeTA Secretariat. The objective of these orientation workshops was to orient the MeTA Focus group members on the :

1. MeTA Constitution and
2. HSA partnership
3. Capacity build on knowledge of SRH commodities

Civil Society Organisations will play a big role during the life of the project as they will be lead advocates, based on evidence, in policy change and implementation.
