The Private Sector, Civic Space, and Global Health Advocacy on the Eve of AIDS 2024
Manage episode 429718622 series 1325257
With the International AIDS Society’s 25th global conference taking place next week in Munich, Mark Lagon, Chief Policy Officer at Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria and Bennett Freeman, Associate Fellow with Chatham House, joined Katherine to discuss a new Friends report regarding the role of the private sector and civil society organizations in advocating for global health programs, including HIV services. Lagon and Freeman argue that in a period during which restrictions on civic space seem to be increasing in many countries around the world, there is a business case to be made for the private sector in defending civil society organizations’ efforts to promote respect for human rights, monitor for equitable access to services, and encourage transparency and accountability within global health programs and beyond.
