About The Partnership

We are a consortium of global health initiatives (GHIs) —The Global Financing Facility, The Global Fund, The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health, Gavi, UHC 2030— who have come together with regional partners Impact Santé Afrique (ISA) and WACI Health to develop and deliver a training and support programme on UHC Budget Advocacy and Accountability in Sub-Sahara Africa. This unique partnership leverages collaboration between the different GHIs’ agendas, such as the GAP, UHC agenda and COVID-19 response, and provides a coordinated, aligned and long-term support to Civil Society engagement in these agendas.

The Global Financing Facility (GFF) is a country-led partnership, hosted at the World Bank, that fights poverty and inequity by advancing the health and rights of women, children and adolescents. It does this by supporting countries to strengthen health systems and improve access to care through prioritized plans, aligned public and private financing, and policy reform.

CSOs AND YOUTH ENGAGEMENT

Civil society organizations (CSOs) and youth are central to the GFF’s
work to promote equity and ensure the voices and needs of the
women, children and adolescents are positioned at the heart of the
country-led process to strengthen health systems. Twenty-nine out of
36 GFF partner countries have CSO and youth representation in their
country platforms. At the global level, CSO representation is part of
the GFF Investors Group helping to shape the GFF’s strategic
direction and strengthen its impact.
Since its inception in 2015, the GFF has provided grants and technical
assistance to strengthen CSO and youth engagement in country
platforms.
