HEAR CSO

Reimagining Global Health Architecture

HEAR CSO (Health Architecture Reimagined Civil Society Organizations) has, to date, convened nearly 140 members of civil society groups and impacted communities across seven regions to assess the present and map the future of global health architecture.

HEAR CSO (Health Architecture Reimagined Civil Society Organizations) will bring together diverse civil society groups and communities who are impacted by and/or responding to health issues around the world, so their voices are heard in shaping the future of global health architecture.

By global health architecture, we mean the systems, structures, institutions, rules and processes that collectively guide, coordinate, finance and implement efforts to improve health on a global scale.

Convening and elevating civil society and community visions in reimagining global health architecture

Climate change, funding shortages, ongoing and emergent outbreaks and pandemics challenge the current global health architecture. Discussions about future directions will not be complete, effective or bold without civil society input. It is critical that all key stakeholders are involved in those discussions from the beginning to create approaches that are inclusive, equitable, and responsive to their needs.
