Event | A Global Health Funding Crunch?: Trends and Implications

Description

Global health may be approaching a pivotal juncture. As we move towards 2030, governments and other major global health donors are confronted with the possibility of a funding crunch that could necessitate a reshaping of the global health architecture. Concerns about a stagnation or decline in funding for global health are forcing governments, civil society organisations, philanthropy, and other stakeholders to grapple with the implications for addressing global health priorities. What would a funding crunch mean for population health in countries that depend on development aid for health? What changes might be triggered in the global health architecture, for example modifications to how existing institutions or public-private partnerships are governed or an increase in bilateral funding for global health? What types of sustainable and scalable innovative financing schemes exist, who supports them, and who does not?

This event will explore diverse perspectives to understand the drivers and implications of a global health funding crunch and to assess how different stakeholders might respond.
