Exploring Partnership Governance in Global Health

2018

This report, published by the National Academies Press (NAP), summarizes the presentations and discussions from a workshop exploring the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in global health, since solutions to the world’s health challenges often require synergistic and multidisciplinary work from numerous sectors. While different stakeholders and sectors bring together varying strengths and resources to their partnerships, they also bring their own organizational cultures, regulations, and expectations. The report considers how these impact a partnership’s governance and decision-making processes. The Forum on Public-Private Partnerships for Global Health and Safety convened this workshop to discuss best practices, common challenges, and lessons learned in various approaches to partnership governance. Workshop participants explored case examples of PPPs addressing HIV/AIDS and health information technology. By understanding key issues in the governance of PPPs for global health, both private and public entities can increase their effectiveness in improving health outcomes.
