On 14-15 November 2011, the Health and Aids division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Netherlands, held the meeting of Strategic Alliance with International NGO’s (SALIN). SALIN was a Programme financed by Netherlands Government between 2007 and 2010 as a subsidy scheme for financial support to a limited number of international NGO’s active in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights. Those NGO's received support for their work on services, information and advocacy to strengthen the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women, men and young people throughout the world. 

The 2011 SALIN+ meeting was a follow up of the first meeting organized in October 2008 when the SALIN partners defined what ‘strategic alliance’ means and can mean in practice. The 2011 meeting was organized to better understand what worked, what lessons can be learned, but most importantly to work out more strategic approaches for SALIN’s joint work heading towards the upcoming 20th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in 2014. 

After 1, 5 days of work, the SALIN Partners created an Outcome Document addressed to the Government of the Netherlands and all other governments urging them to reaffirm and adopt the important principles with regards to the SRHR agenda.
