In the last decade, the interface between foreign policy, economics and health has become more prominent, and diplomacy is undergoing profound changes to respond to new emerging needs. Health ministries, specialised UN agencies and non-governmental organisations have now been joined by new actors, such as public–private partnerships, mixed entities with governmental and private members, foundations, as well as the private sector. These actors are all shaping and contributing to the global health arena. Switzerland, and in particular Geneva, plays an important role in health policy development, being one of the world’s major centres for diplomacy, international and humanitarian affairs. The Global Health Centre contributes to a stronger interface between Swiss academia and international organisations. It aims to analyse and make more visible the role of Switzerland in global health governance.
Directory of Geneva Global health Actors
Directory of Swiss Global Health Actors
This directory serves as a practical guide for anyone interested in global health. It is the first of its kind in mapping the many different global health actors in Geneva, and in documenting their wide-ranging activities and complex interrelationships. It aims to foster cooperation and facilitate networking among the different global health stakeholders.
Launched in 2009 and now recently updated in its 4th edition, the directory includes over 90 entries of different organisations in Geneva. We hope you find the directory useful for identifying and understanding the various global health actors and their networks within International Geneva.
We have made every effort to adequately reflect the work and contribution to global health of all actors listed. We update the directory regularly, and welcome your comments, feedback and corrections. Furthermore, if you know of an organisation which you think should be listed in the directory, please let us know.
