About the Consortium

In the backdrop of a global health financial crisis, multi-stakeholder processes are being announced to begin to discuss the future of the development, financial and health architectures.

HEAR-CSO (Health Architecture Reimagined – Civil Society Organizations) Consortium consists of civil society and community networks and organisations (WACI Health, UHC2030 CSEM, STOPAIDS, NCD Alliance, GFAN, GNP+, ITPC) who have developed and secured funding for a process to convene and elevate civil society and communities’ visions towards reimagining the global health architecture.

There will be two global consultations (virtual), ten regional consultations (virtual) and four national consultations (in-person) that will happen over the next three months (August–October). We will generate reports from these consultations to reflect the breadth of visions from civil society and communities that can be used as a resource by civil society and communities in the broader multi-stakeholder processes that are happening this year to make decisions about the future of the global health architecture.

The core objectives of the project will be to:

• Map and advocate for civil society and community involvement in national, regional or global discussions on the future of the global health architecture planned over the next year

• Draw together and share background information analysing the existing global health architecture and key existing proposals for change

• Distribute an online survey and host a series of virtual and in-person consultations to engage, collate and collect a diversity of voices and perspectives from communities and civil society

• Collate and share outcomes of survey and consultations on an ongoing basis to support iterative learning and vision-building

The initiators of this project and its Steering Committee are composed of the following organizations: WACI Health, STOPAIDS, Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+), International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC) Global, Civil Society Engagement Mechanism on UHC (CSEM), Non-Communicable Diseases Alliance (NCD Alliance), and Global Fund Advocates Network (GFAN).
WACI Health will serve as the host and coordinator of grant funding related to this project.
