- Mobilise colleagues across MSF for the agreed advocacy agenda of the APH and support them in their contribution to the agenda
- Provide, or help to find, representation and strategic communication services to the APH Structure and MSF entities to support the introduction of new products, participation in medical research and development, source and supply models, and funding and collaboration opportunities
