Our Events

On April 10, the Global Health Council and the Global Health Advocacy Incubator launched the revised GHAI's Advocacy Action Guide. The Action Guide is a practical resource for public health advocates to plan, organize and implement effective advocacy, based on the experiences of civil society advocates in every region of the world.

In this global webinar, GHAI and its co-branding partners Vital Strategies, Resolve To Save Lives and the O’Neill Institute discussed our newly released NPM position paper, why it was developed and why it’s needed within the current global public health space.

The Global Health Advocacy Incubator hosted an online discussion on the Budget Advocacy Toolkit for Epidemic Preparedness: Facilitator’s Guide. Participants learned about the step-by-step course for facilitators to teach epidemic preparedness advocacy techniques to government and civil society organization stakeholders to build strong and resilient systems for health security.

On May 25, 2021, GHAI hosted a conversation about how advocates can advance effective public health policies in a world disrupted by COVID-19—disruptions that underscore the urgency of health advocacy even while making some traditional advocacy activities more difficult. This event was held alongside the 74th World Health Assembly.
