What a great start to the WHA77 week with AMREF – City Cancer Challenge

City Cancer Challenge shared on LinkedIn:

“What a great start to the WHA77 week with AMREF! Together with our panellists, we discussed how to implement global initiatives at the local level through impactful collaborations and how global organisations can ensure a more inclusive and responsive approach to addressing local health challenges.

Key takeaways:

• Localisation is not a cosmetic measure. It is about who holds the money, power, and decision-making.
• People on the ground know what they need, we must just listen.
• Funds must be used to respond to local needs and not for vertical programmes.

There is a need to:

• Create incentives for international organizations, local NGOs, and public authorities to collaborate for reliable partnerships.
• Support decision-making with evidence and knowledge.
• Empower local implementation with capacity development.

Thank you all for joining us this morning!”
