Role of NGOs in global health development.
Global health is essential for development. A
major issue is the inequitable distribution of research efforts and funds
directed towards populations suffering the world's greatest health problems.
Global health also refers to 'inherently global health issues', that is,
health-determining phenomena that transcend national borders and political
jurisdictions, such as globalization and climate change. NGOs include
charitable and religious associations that mobilize private funds for
development, distribute food and family planning services and promote community
organization. They also include independent cooperatives, community
associations, water-user societies, women‘s groups and pastoral associations.

NGOs play a very crucial role in global health development in the following
ways.
•NGOs had the
technical expertise, human resources and communications and policy
infrastructure needed to mitigate a crisis before, during and after it
occurred. NGOs, for example, often had the local knowledge and were locally
known in the areas where the diseases ran rampant.
•NGOs thus played an
important role on the front lines in administering aid, but were also as a
trusted resource, building crucial relationships with local communities
fighting the current outbreaks and fostering resiliency for future ones.
•NGOs are an important part
of global health diplomacy and their strong presence on the global stage
represents one of the trends that have been attributed to the emergence of the
field itself.
•NGOs are contributing at all stages of the
research cycle, fostering the relevance and effectiveness of the research,
priority setting, and knowledge translation to action. They have a key role in
stewardship (promoting and advocating for relevant global health research), resource
mobilization for research, the generation, utilization and management of
knowledge, and capacity development. Yet, typically, the involvement of NGOs in
research is downstream from knowledge production and it usually takes the form
of a partnership with universities or dedicated research agencies.
