Global Health Initiative Survey |
The Global Health Initiative (GHI)
The Global Health Initiative (GHI) was introduced by the Obama administration to increase the impact and sustainability of US government global health efforts. Its approach is to help partner countries improve their health outcomes by strengthening their health systems. The GHI is driven by core principles that focus on gender equality; increasing impact through strategic coordination and integration; investing in country ownership; building sustainability; and promoting research and innovation.
While the GHI encompasses all US global health programs, eight countries were selected as “GHI Plus” countries, which would receive additional technical and management resources to implement more quickly the GHI’s approach. These eight countries are: Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Nepal and Rwanda.
InterAction’s Integrating Health in Relief and Development working group is surveying member organizations working in the GHI Plus countries to identify how the in-country consultation process has been implemented to date from the perspective of NGOs. This information can make an important contribution to understanding how operational agencies and civil society have been engaged in the roll out of the GHI at the country level.
The survey should take no more than 10 minutes of your time. Results from the survey will be shared with InterAction members, GHI officials and at a GHI-focused workshop at the InterAction Forum held in August.
We would greatly appreciate your participation. Please respond by June 3, 2011. If you have any questions, please contact Danielle Heiberg, dheiberg@interaction.org.
