Global Health Governance Project
Researching how the global health system can work better.
The Global Health Governance Project was established in 2006 to foster research and debate into how the global health system can better serve the needs of people in developing countries. The three core objectives of the project are:
- to conduct and foster research into global health organizations and markets as well as new public-private governance regimes;
- to create and maintain a network of scholars and policy-makers working on these issues through the Oxford Global Health Network;
- to influence debate and policy in both the public and the private sector in developed and developing countries.
The Project is located within the Global Economic Governance Programme, Department of Politics and International Relations. It is linked with Oxford's Departments of Public Health and Primary Health Care and the Centre for Tropical Medicine. It serves as an interdisciplinary umbrella within Oxford drawing together members of the Departments of Economics, Anthropology, Law, Business, and Development Studies working on these issues and linking them to an international research network. The first phase of the project is principally funded by the John Fell Fund (Oxford).
