NGOs: problem or solution in global health?
Hosted by The Lancet and ECOHOST – in the series Global Health Lab Discussions
Non-government organizations (NGOs) are key actors in global health programmes and can have considerable influence over development policy. They are often viewed as the most flexible and effective actors for delivering health activities and as key advocates in global health. But do NGOs strengthen or fragment health systems? How do we know if they are effective? Can international NGOs be truly accountable to the people they claim to serve? In this Global Health Lab we will explore whether NGOs are part of the problem or part of the solution in global health.
Come and join the debate!
Chairs: Richard Horton, The Lancet and Martin McKee, ECOHOST and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Speakers: Mohga Kamal-Yanni, Oxfam; Michael Jennings, SOAS; Kirsty Newman, UK Department for International Development
