OUR WORK
The Center for Global Health and Development fills the existing gap between global health and sustainable finance. CGHD gathers presidents, health and finance ministers, private sector companies, development banks, multi-lateral agencies, DFIs and civil society to work collectively to solve many pressing issues. CGHD provides a platform to engage various stakeholders that are indispensable to the solution.
- Our work is focused on highlighting the global health challenges facing the developing world and providing solutions to these challenges from some of the world’s best global health minds and leaders in public and private financing. We are focused on turning ideas into action and use both the publication and the roundtable forums to promote collaborations and partnerships between governments and different sectors.
- We also raise awareness of important global health issues amongst the diplomatic and other development communities ensuring that global health becomes part of the larger development discussion. We strive to incorporate the lessons of diplomacy and stress the importance of international collaboration to achieving our global health goals. We believe that only through partnership and shared sacrifice will we be able to answer many of the most difficult global health challenges.
- Lastly, CGHD leverages it diplomatic and development expertise to ensure that truly durable solutions are implemented so as to create reliable and robust health systems which translates into stable economies and societies.
OUR MISSION
The Center for Global Health and Development’s Mission is to broker, facilitate, and forge multi-sector partnerships to support ongoing and new global health efforts. We are positioned to collaborate with the public and private sectors, investors and innovators to establish relationships based on trust and mutual understanding, which then allows untapped sustainable resources to reach billions of people across the globe.
CORE PRINCIPLE
Global health issues are much too broad for any one doctor, health care worker, world leader or lab to address alone. At CGHD, we believe in a set of core principles that guide our work on a daily basis:
- Partnership and inter-disciplinary collaboration
- Open and honest dialogue
- Country ownership and stakeholder coordination
- Sustainable solutions
- Health for all
BLENDED FINANCE
CGHD works to forge blended finance partnerships by leveraging public-private sector partnerships to address global health financing gaps. CGHD provides a platform for high-level leaders from DFIs, G7 governments, the private sector, philanthropy, and the investor community to highlight the resources needed to harness the untapped potential of blended financing structures to drive more innovative and equitable health solutions.
CGHD aims to increase and de-risk investments in global health by translating economic evidence into actionable, high-impact blended finance investment opportunities. Designing blended finance models using evidence-based approaches that optimize health, economic, and financial impacts allowed CGHD to create funds such as the WHEN Fund-of-Funds and the Investment Fund for Women’s cancers. CGHD is also scaling investment into solar for health initiatives that require blended finance structures to improve women’s healthcare in LMICs through the strategic use of development finance and philanthropic funds to mobilize additional private investments.
