GLOBAL HEALTH RISK FRAMEWORK:
GOVERNANCE FOR GLOBAL HEALTH

WORKSHOP SESSION GUIDE

September 1-2, 2015

Wellcome Trust - Gibbs Building, 6th Floor - London, UK

BACKGROUND

Contracted Statement of Task for the
Commission’s Governance Workstream

“The governance for global health workstream will explore global, national, and local capabilities, to include those required by the International Health Regulations (2005), to facilitate the collective action of the governmental, intergovernmental, corporate, and non-profit sectors as they contribute to preparedness and response. . . . The Commission will deliberate and evaluate options to strengthen global, regional, national, and local systems to better prepare, detect, and respond to epidemic diseases. Interrelations between sectors will be studied.”

Overarching Objectives for Governance for Global Health Workshop

Mobilize for the Global Health Risk Framework Commission suitable evidence and expert opinion to inform their deliberations around the pros and cons of alternative approaches to improved governance for global health.
Illuminate the definition of governance for global health and its scope.
Consider the key elements of “good” governance, such as targets and benchmarks, monitoring, transparency, honesty, civil society engagement, and accountability.

Document key successes and lessons learned from past global infectious disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies and how they may inform preparation and response to future outbreaks and emergencies.
Characterize needs, gaps, and barriers in current approaches to addressing global infectious disease outbreaks and other public health threats.
Consider compliance-enhancing mechanisms to drive good governance and implementation of existing international norms, such as measures of compliance and monitoring for compliance, incentives for compliance, identifying and working with key actors to improve compliance, and “shadow” reports such as by independent experts and civil society.
Consider indicators and metrics that may be used to guide and assess the resilience of the global health infrastructure to future outbreaks and emergencies.

Working Definition of Governance for Global Infectious Disease Control

In the context of infectious disease outbreaks of global significance, governance encompasses a range of integrated policy, information management, command, and control mechanisms for facilitating collective action to achieve the objectives of prevention, detection, and response. Of necessity, these mechanisms integrate actions across intergovernmental organizations, sovereign nations, communities, the corporate sector, humanitarian agencies, and civil society. They operate in not only the realm of health, but also to a variable extent in collateral spheres to include agriculture/food security, diplomacy, education, finance, migration/refugee care, security, and transportation.

1:50 – 2:10 PM	Model 1: A Reformed WHO Charles Clift

2:10 – 2:30 PM	Model 2: “WHO Plus.” The WHO with an attached center for humanitarian and outbreak management under the line authority of the WHO Director-General and with strategic, operational, and tactical roles. It combines both strategic and operational missions within the WHO-Geneva culture. Ilona Kickbusch

2:30 – 2:50 PM	Model 3: The Executive Agency Model. The WHO as the host for a center for humanitarian and outbreak management operating under the authorities of the UN Secretary-General and executing strategic, operational, and tactical roles. (This taps the expertise of WHO but draws from a higher level of authority for command and control and political support.) It would insulate the center from the WHO culture and the politics of the WHA but derive vast technical benefits.

2:50 – 3:10 PM	Model 4: Independent Entity with Interagency Composition under the Authority of the UN Secretary General. Daniel López-Acuña
