Global health partnerships in a time of historical and epidemiological transition

Global health is going through a historical transition, with the emergence of a decolonization movement aimed at changing its incentives and power structures.

The field is also going through an epidemiological transition, with the emergence of non-transmissible diseases and new infectious agents and with the growing health impact of climate and environmental changes.

Partnerships between national governments, multi-lateral organizations, donors, academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, and the public must necessarily evolve from the past to meet these new challenges. Through the analysis of global health partnerships that have occurred in several countries (Rwanda, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Botswana), the seminar presents a strategy and a set of targets and indicators to help measure the impact of a partnership, identify areas for improvement, and develop corrective interventions when necessary.
