The Wellcome-commissioned โReimagining the Future of Global Health Initiativesโ study has been produced by a research consortium as one of several independent inputs into the Future of Global Health Initiatives (FGHI) process.
The FGHI process brings together a group of global, regional, and national health stakeholders โ including governments, global health institutions, civil society organisations, and academics โ to reflect on and set out commitments for collective action to optimise GHIs to support countriesโ progress on the path to universal health coverage (UHC). This is a time-bound process that aims to catalyse collective action to make the GHI ecosystem more efficient, effective, and equitable, and increase the impact of external investments in health.
The research consortium, led by the University of Geneva, Queen Margaret University, Stellenbosch University, Aga Khan University, Cheikh Anta Diop University, and French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) began an intensive programme of research in February 2023. The study draws on several data sources, including the perspectives of over 200 experts at global, regional, and country level, with a particular focus on implementing countries.
While this reportโs recommendations have not been endorsed by the FGHI Steering Group members or their organizations or governments, its findings and recommendations will provide valuable insights for the next phase of the FGHI process as stakeholders discuss and develop a set of commitments for collective action that will be published in December.
Written responses to the report are welcomed by the FGHI Steering Group, to inform its deliberations from now until the end of the year. Responses can be emailed by 8 September to Secretariat@futureofghis.org.
