Ethiopia has made remarkable progress over the past two decades in improving the health of its population through the collaborative efforts by the host government and its multilateral and bilateral development partners, including the Global health Initiatives (GHIs). GHIs have contributed to enormous progress in protecting lives and improving the health of communities, contributing to global public goods and delivering on the Millennium Development Goals. In doing so, they have established new models of partnership and alliances and novel ways of addressing inequities.
However, concerns have risen over the proliferation of GHIs, their focus on specific conditions, their impact on wider health systems, how their role may need to change in light of increasing non-communicable diseases and climate change, the changing type, level, and role of development assistance for health and the importance of strengthening resilient and sustainable health systems. There is an increasing recognition that the recent changes in external health funding, and the shocks of sudden changes, are likely to have a significant impact on vital lifesaving health programs in Ethiopia as well as the broader health system. It is therefore imperative to secure enhanced efficiency, including a more coordinated approach in GHI investments alongside supporting national efforts to promoting a domestically driven and sustainable approach to securing self-reliance in health financing.
There is increasing recognition of the need for greater attention to overarching, system-level coordination and structure of GHIs and their interface with other actors to better align investment behind Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goal 3. For decades there have been calls for reform of the global health architecture, as well as development assistance more broadly, and there has been significant global momentum building on the back of the Future of Global Health Initiatives (FGHI) process which culminated in the publication of the Lusaka Agenda in December 2023. FGHI was a time-bound, multistakeholder process involving representatives from across funders, governments, global health organizations, civil society and the research and learning community. The Lusaka Agenda (LA) outlined consensus for collective action by GHIs and other global health actors to strengthen their efforts through the following five key shifts:

Make a stronger contribution to primary health care (PHC) by effectively strengthening systems for health
Play a catalytic role towards sustainable, domestically financed health services and public health functions:
Strengthen joint approaches for achieving equity in health outcomes:
Achieve strategic and operational coherence
Coordinate approaches to products, research and development (R&D), and regional manufacturing to address market and policy failures in global health.

Ethiopia is a Lead Collaboration and Champion country for the LA, which emphasizes building resilient and sustainable health systems, enhancing strategic and operational coherence between GHIs, and boosting local and regional manufacturing of health products to promote self-reliance in health financing. HE Dr. Mekdes Daba plays a leadership role globally – as co-chair of the Joint Committee Working Group (JCWG) in her role as Gavi Board member – as well as in Ethiopia, to advance the Lusaka Agenda and has positioned Ethiopia as a leader in the implementation of the Lusaka Agenda.
The first LA Joint Mission (LA JM) conducted in Ethiopia in January 2025, under the leadership of H.E. Dr. Mekdes Daba, highlighted the need for enhanced coordination and efficiency in global health governance and identified a number of specific actions to be advanced in Ethiopia as well as globally.
The UK government (FCDO, Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office) has partnered with the Government of Ethiopia to speed up implementation of the LA in Ethiopia, to deliver on the commitments made during the LA JM and accelerate the impact of Global Fund investments and. Through the Global Fund Accelerator (GFA) – a set aside from the UK’s £1billion investment in the Global Fund – GFA Advisers are located in nine key countries (including Ethiopia) to support the impact of the UK’s investments through GHIs and enhance implementation at country level. To support these goals GFA has set up a small technical assistance (TA) programme that is delivered by the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) in Ethiopia.
In order to establish the focus of the GFA TA programme and to catalyse and scale change, a meeting was held with HE Minister Mekdes where she prioritized TA priority areas for effective implementation of the LA and to accelerate impact of GHI investments in Ethiopia. The meeting was attended by colleagues from FCDO and CHAI, including the GFA adviser. This discussion identified that the Minister did not want to prioritize finalizing a LA Action Plan, and would be keen to start with efforts to address LA priorities through TA support delivered through and by CCM/E Secretariat, EFDA, EPSS and to enhance collaborative working on malaria – one of the priorities of the LA JM and the JCWG deliberations. It is anticipated that, working with the Minister’s advisers, these priorities will be refined over the next year.
CHAI is now seeking a Programme Manager with the right qualifications and experiences to provide technical and managerial leadership for effective implementation of this collaborative project.
