> Description:
>
> The Global Health Council's 34th Annual
> International Conference is dedicated to
> partnerships: how they are built, what they have
> and can deliver, and how those living in poverty
> and disease can best benefit. These joint
> efforts are means to tackle and find solutions
> to complex health problems at all levels, and in
> so doing, improve the health of the world.
>
> Abstracts are sought that detail the range of
> partnerships - among others, between NGOs, the
> private sector and governments; between and
> among service delivery, advocacy, research and
> academic organizations; among institutions based
> in the developing world (South-to-South), and
> between them and those based in industrialized

> multilateral institutions, and foundations, and
> those who implement programs.

> In each case we seek examples and models of
> cooperation and collaboration, and lessons
> learned both in the process of partnership and
> in the outcomes of such partnerships. How did a
> partnership add value? What were the key
> challenges and solutions addressed in building
> and strengthening a partnership? What are the
> trade-offs of engaging in partnerships versus
> going it alone? What knowledge can be used by
> others who seek to have the greatest impact at
> the most reasonable cost?
