Global Health 50/50 (360G-Wellcome-215874_Z_19_Z)

Global Health 50/50 seeks to advance action and accountability for gender equality in global health. Co-led by Professor Sarah Hawkes and Dr Kent Buse and hosted by the UCL Centre for Gender and Global Health, GH5050 has three key assets: the groundbreaking 2018 GH5050 report, a review of the gender policies and practices of 140 organisations active in health, its high powered Advisory Council whose members engage their networks to influence global health policy and practice, and a team of dedicated strategists, researchers and gender experts. GH5050 has three strategic objectives: Shaping ideas: Increase knowledge and awareness on and reframe gender equality in global health to shift gender norms Driving institutional change: Advocate and track progress to drive accountability for gender equality in global health Shifting interests: Develop a policy community to advance gender equality in global health Under this grant, GH5050 will work to achieve these objectives through a range of activities, including publication and dissemination of its 2019 and 2020 reports, implementation of systematic policy engagement strategies and tracking organisational change. GH5050 also plans to adapt its model in several countries by strengthening the capacity of diverse policy collectives and linking them to policy makers.
