In a time when there is the need to reform global health and build an equity-focused agenda, Chatham House and the PANDORA initiative organize an event that brings practical perspectives on the decolonization of global health by exploring and discussing strategies to reform the global health system.
The event explores approaches to guide the decolonization of global health and provides examples of how different aspects of global health can be reformed through a decolonial lens. Panellists also discuss strategies that address existing power imbalances and ensure equitable leadership for LMIC stakeholders in global health.
The expert panel discusses the following questions:
- What activities should be prioritized in the DGH movement?
- Should there be goals and targets?
- What actors should be involved in DGH delivery?
- How can equitable leadership for LMIC stakeholders in global health be ensured?
- What should this look like?
Hosted by Chatham House and the PANDORA initiative, the event is open to the public and live interpretation services will be available for French and Arabic. The webinar is a side event to the International Conference on Public Health in Africa.
