This Working Group, convened by Oxford's Global Economic Governance Programme, brings together health ministers from developing countries, joined by finance ministers and ex-heads of state, to set an agenda for governance reform in global health. The Working Group participants, among the most accomplished ministers from around the world, have been selected based on their success, advocacy, and experience in the pursuit of developing country priorities.
