The OECD report provides a comprehensive summary of the high-level meeting on global public goods (GPGs) for health, convened by the OECD and the Global Health Centre (GHC) on 27 November 2024 in Geneva. It captures key discussions on the challenges of financing GPGs, the role of domestic and external funding, and innovative mechanisms to secure sustainable investments in global health.
The report explores three main themes: the persistent financing gaps in GPGs, the role of non-state actors in addressing these challenges, and practical solutions to break funding deadlocks. It highlights strategies such as leveraging multilateral development bank financing, engaging emerging donors, and strengthening private sector contributions. Additionally, the report examines the evolving definition of GPGs, their alignment with Universal Health Coverage (UHC), and the need to better recognise Global South contributions in global health financing data. Through expert insights and breakout session discussions, this report outlines concrete recommendations for enhancing accountability, sustainability, and international cooperation in funding global health priorities.
