PHPS40650

Academic Year 2024/2025
Progress to achieve the SDGs targets is achieved through collaborative global research efforts, promoting evidence-based policy changes and advocating to mobilize resources and stakeholders. International Organizations are critical in mobilising resources to sustain longstanding changes.
Throughout the module, Professor Weakliam, HSE National Lead in Global Health, provides an overview of the role of International Organizations (IO) in coordinating efforts to address Global Health challenges. The module provides an overview of how IO delineates its field programs, including implementation, research, policy changes or advocacy.
We focus on five current Global Health challenges: Global Nutrition, Built Environment and Climate Change, Reproductive Health Rights, Women's Health and decolonization of global health.
Students are expected to be active participants during lectures.
Students will learn how to complete a situation analysis, stakeholder mapping, and global advocacy campaigns and apply evidence synthesis to propose a solution to a global health challenge.
