The International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) Advocacy Committee (SAC) provides strategic direction and leadership for SIOP’s policy and advocacy work at regional, national, and global levels, working closely with the SIOP Board of Directors and key partners such as the World Health Organization. Advocacy is central to SIOP’s vision—“No child should die of cancer: cure for more, care for all.” In line with this mission, SIOP is inviting nominations for one Advocacy Committee member representing the Africa region to support its global advocacy agenda for children and adolescents with cancer. This is a board-level position on the SIOP Africa Board.
