WS 07 - Multi Stakeholder Collaboration in Global Health Research

The session will explore the relationships and intersections of development cooperation and academic research in global health. How can political, financial and human resources investments in humanitarian development cooperation be sensibly linked to academic research? What kind of coordination mechanisms are needed to overcome fragmentation between or even within sectors (e.g. different Ministries and Departments) and improve the coherence, efficiency and capacity for action of donor countries? What kind of programs and incentives are needed to ensure that development cooperation programs are evidence based and that academic cooperation’s have a positive impact on social and economic development in the partner countries?
