Resumen
Descripción
The global forum for health research was
established in 1998 as an independent Swiss foundation, to
promote health research on the problems of poor countries
and people. The creation of the global forum responded to
the growing awareness among policy makers in industrial and
in developing countries that research related to the health
problems affecting developing country populations was
receiving inadequate attention on the global agenda. The
global forum has devoted its energies increasingly to health
equity as a way to focus the attention of researchers and
policy makers on the problems of the poor. Annual
expenditures on the core activities of the global forum have
been about $3.5 million. Bilateral donors and the World Bank
finance virtually all of the global forum's activities.
This Global Program Review (GPR) assesses the quality and
independence of the second evaluation of the global forum;
provides a second opinion on the effectiveness of the forum;
assesses the performance of the Bank as a partner of the
forum; and draws lessons for the future. It contains data
from the beginning of the forum to the present, including
key developments during the last two years since the second
external evaluation was completed. The global forum was
chosen for a GPR because it provides lessons for the design
and operation of other global programs, especially for
advocacy programs, and for international support of health
research more generally.
