WHO governance: The conversation continues
Civil society meetings related to WHO EB142, 19-20 January 2018
The civil society meetings ahead of the 142nd Session of the WHO EB built on a long history of civil society engagement in the governance and reform of the WHO and on joint reflection and strategizing on global health governance, undertaken by civil society institutions considering themselves as acting in the public interest.
Organizers and Host
The Geneva Global Health Hub (G2H2) set up by a group of civil society organizations in 2016 intends to contribute to longer-term strategic thinking and coherent and sustained action by civil society entities involved in global health advocacy in Geneva. WHO Watch, a project organized by the People’s Health Movement, is a resource for advocacy and mobilisation and an intervention in global health governance. The Third World Network is an independent non-profit international network of organizations and individuals involved in issues relating to development, developing countries and North-South affairs. The meetings were kindly hosted by the World Council of Churches.
