GOVERNANCE SESSION E FIVE CONCLUSIONS
Chair: Dr. Andrzej Rys • Rapporteur: Dr. Gaudenz Silberschmidt • Panellists • Prof. Ilona Kickbusch • Prof. Paulo Buss • Dr. Liu Peilong • Dr. Nils Daulaire • Dr. Arun Nanda
TWO CHALLENGES • Multitude, numbers and diversity of actors (at national and global level, different government departments, different organisations, different sectors, public / private, etc.) - Different agenda’s (security, economic, political, social justice, soft power/philanthropy)or nature
THREE MAIN POINTS • Global health begins at home • Move beyond the development agenda only; include the global interdependence agenda • Strengthen WHO’s leadership role and governance
1) Global health begins at home • The importance of national global health strategies to assure policy coherence at national (and at EU level) (such as the UK, Switzerland and the EU) • The same policy coherence is needed at one WHO and one UN
2) Move beyond the development agenda only; include the global interdependence agenda • We need emancipative & participating cooperation • North – South – South cooperation in order to allow all countries to build their own health governance institutions, health research and educational institutions • The EU has already started and was explicitly invited for such cooperation with UNASUR, USA, China and European office of WHO.
3. Strengthen WHO’s leadership role and governance • Priority-setting in WHO governing bodies and secretariat functions (build on the comparative advantage and possibility less operational work and clearer strategic orientation) • provide a better regulatory framework by strengthening WHO’s normative function • find a way to include other stakeholders in a meaningful manner into WHO governance (such as for example the Committee C proposal) • address WHO financing (the organisation cannot be run with only 20% regular budget and 80% extra budgetary contributions) • Ensure a broad interdisciplinary skill mix within the WHO secretariat (both by capacity-building of existing staff and by recruiting staff from other sectors)
