GOVERNANCE

In the concluding session led by Dr. Andrzej Rys and Rapporteur Dr. Gaudenz Silberschmidt, prominent panellists discussed essential challenges in global health governance. They identified multifaceted actors and agendas that complicate efforts. They emphasized that global health starts at home and called for national strategies that align with EU actions. The need to move beyond development agendas to embrace global interdependence was highlighted, alongside calls to strengthen WHO's leadership, enhance regulatory frameworks, and foster meaningful stakeholder inclusion for a robust health governance system.

  1. GOVERNANCE SESSION E FIVE CONCLUSIONS

  2. Chair: Dr. Andrzej Rys • Rapporteur: Dr. Gaudenz Silberschmidt • Panellists • Prof. Ilona Kickbusch • Prof. Paulo Buss • Dr. Liu Peilong • Dr. Nils Daulaire • Dr. Arun Nanda

  3. TWO CHALLENGES • Multitude, numbers and diversity of actors (at national and global level, different government departments, different organisations, different sectors, public / private, etc.) - Different agenda’s (security, economic, political, social justice, soft power/philanthropy)or nature

  4. THREE MAIN POINTS • Global health begins at home • Move beyond the development agenda only; include the global interdependence agenda • Strengthen WHO’s leadership role and governance

  5. 1) Global health begins at home • The importance of national global health strategies to assure policy coherence at national (and at EU level) (such as the UK, Switzerland and the EU) • The same policy coherence is needed at one WHO and one UN

  6. 2) Move beyond the development agenda only; include the global interdependence agenda • We need emancipative & participating cooperation • North – South – South cooperation in order to allow all countries to build their own health governance institutions, health research and educational institutions • The EU has already started and was explicitly invited for such cooperation with UNASUR, USA, China and European office of WHO.

  7. 3. Strengthen WHO’s leadership role and governance • Priority-setting in WHO governing bodies and secretariat functions (build on the comparative advantage and possibility less operational work and clearer strategic orientation) • provide a better regulatory framework by strengthening WHO’s normative function • find a way to include other stakeholders in a meaningful manner into WHO governance (such as for example the Committee C proposal) • address WHO financing (the organisation cannot be run with only 20% regular budget and 80% extra budgetary contributions) • Ensure a broad interdisciplinary skill mix within the WHO secretariat (both by capacity-building of existing staff and by recruiting staff from other sectors)
