ReBUILD for Resilience is an active member of working groups and coalitions that share the programme’s objectives; to actively work towards improving health systems in fragile and shock-prone settings. Details are below.
TWGFCAS is an active group of more than 2,000 researchers, policymakers, funders and implementers, all working towards the objectives of better creation, sharing and use of new knowledge for better health systems and access to healthcare for all, in these most challenging settings. The group is managed by a steering committee – led by ReBUILD’s Maria Bertone and our CAG member Egbert Sondorp – and supported by an expert advisory group.

UHC2030, together with WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme, has convened this group to encourage the development and implementation of health sector policies that affect populations living in fragile settings, and to sustainably improve the quality and safety of available health services. The group brings together experts from key operational agencies and coordinating bodies – as well as researchers like the ReBUILD for Resilience consortium – to explore options for how a more effective and complementary interface might function. Professor Sophie Witter, research co-director of ReBUILD, sits on the group.

The Future of Global Health Initiatives (FGHI) process brings together a group of global, regional and national health stakeholders – from governments and international- and domestic-financing partners to civil society, health organisations, and academics – in a time-bound process of consultation and research throughout 2023. They are reflecting on how global health initiatives can be optimised to best support national health priorities and countries’ progress towards universal health coverage.
Several members of the ReBUILD team – including Sophie Witter, Maria Paola Bertone and Giulia Loffreda from IGHD plus partners in Pakistan, Senegal and South Africa – are part of FGHI, contributing to discussions which will culminate in a set of commitments for collective action to optimize global health initiatives’ support to national health priorities and countries’ progress toward universal health coverage.
Team members are currently or have been involved in several Lancet Commissions:
• Health, Conflict and Displacement
• Syria: health in conflict [opens new tab]
• Migration and Health: the health of a world on the move [opens new tab]
This project brings together academics from around the world – including ReBUILD for Resilience members – to conduct real-time gender analysis to identify and document the gendered dynamics of COVID-19 and gaps in preparedness and response. It brings together hundreds of researchers, policy makers and practitioners and is a clearing house for emerging evidence in this area.
