The Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI) uses the power of advocacy to reduce preventable deaths and to improve health at scale by changing policies and strengthening systems.
GHAI supports civil society organizations and advocates in more than 40 countries to pass public health policies that save lives, reduce disease and prevent injuries.
From making roads safer and ensuring kids get vaccinated to saving children from drowning and making foods healthier and available, GHAI and our partners are creating a healthier and more equitable future for all.
See our impact in action through these case studies.
In Zambia, the national government increased funding for its civil registration services by 67%, following advocacy by the Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI) and our civil society organization (CSO) partner Maternal Health Action Zambia (MHAZ). Prior to civil society engagement, the initial budget proposal had called for a funding cut.
This means more births and deaths will be registered, more Zambians will be able to enjoy their civil rights and access social services and the country will have a more secure legal identity system.
The Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment Act (MAT Act) was signed into law in the final days of December 2022, eliminating a key barrier to access of a lifesaving medication for the more than 100,000 people dying of overdose per year.
Between 2018 and 2025, the Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI) with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, partnered with the Government of Vietnam to implement a World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended survival swimming program that fundamentally transformed national child safety and reduced overall child drowning.
