Context

UNU-IIGH is one of 14 research and training centres that comprise the UNU system. As a UN think tank, the mission of UNU-IIGH is to build knowledge and capacity for decision-making by UN agencies, programmes, and member states about global health issues. The aim is to contribute to the development and strengthening of health services policy frameworks and management actions, particularly for people in developing countries, and to support implementation of promotive and preventive approaches to human health. UNU-IIGH’s research and capacity building in global health relates specifically to informing the policy debates and directions that ensure that in keeping with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) “no one is left behind”. UNU-IIGH recognises the need to communicate its research and findings to the policy-making community, including those within the UN, researchers and international organisations. In particular, we seek to communicate our work with people and organisations in the Global South. The material to be designed will be used for the Decolonising Global Health project (contributing to SDG 3), which offers an opportunity to improve the global health system by catalysing equitable shifts in power and new forms of global health practice that are better tailored to the needs and contexts of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and marginalised population groups. The website will aim to be a one-stop stop for everything "Decolonising Global Health" on a digital level and will house resources for stakeholders to consume and engage with.
