GHV Insights Paper
Partnering Better: Ten Principles for Impactful Global Health Partnerships
How pharma and other private sector health companies can build innovative, inclusive, and impactful global health partnerships
In the face of diminishing global health financing and increasingly complex health challenges, pharmaceutical companies (pharma) can play a pivotal role in fostering impactful partnerships to enhance global health outcomes. By collaborating with NGOs, governments, academia, philanthropies, and other private sector entities, these companies can leverage collective expertise and resources to address pressing health issues. Our latest insights paper outlines ten principles designed to guide pharmaceutical companies in establishing highly impactful, inclusive, and innovative partnerships.
Team Spotlight

She leads the Global Health Innovations portfolio, focusing on scaling innovative solutions that drive equity and impact in global health.

Anjali Desai
Meet Senior Consultant Anjali Desai. At GHV, we believe that driving meaningful change in global health requires collaboration across sectors, deep community engagement, and strategies that bridge policy and action.

A Note from Our CEO
Like many of you, I’ve been shocked and saddened by the Trump administration’s impulsive actions over the last few weeks with regard to critical domestic and foreign programs. As the CEO of a company committed to improving lives all over the world, I am particularly disheartened at the sheer disregard for human lives and livelihoods. The executive orders that will impact global health and development – including withdrawing from the WHO, suspending USAID work and contracts, halting ?treatments to individuals living with HIV/AIDs, withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, and rejoining of the Geneva Consensus – each are having real and direct impacts immediately on the lives of Americans in the loss of thousands of important jobs, as well as on individuals who rely on these commitments all over the world.
At GHV we are guided by a vision that the fundamental rights to a healthy life, healthy community, and healthy planet are equally available to all. We’ve been honored to work with partners around the world who share that vision and work tirelessly alongside underserved communities to improve their health and wellbeing and that of the environment. We believe in the interconnectedness of all living things and that when one suffers, we all suffer. We believe in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, recognizing that with privilege comes responsibility. As the country with the largest GDP in the world, the United States has the responsibility not only to care for our citizens at home but also offer support to low- and middle-income countries. These are investments, not charity. We’ve seen time and again that the health of people and the environment are not contained by national borders. When we work together, we all benefit. When we don’t, lives are needlessly lost and ecosystems damaged. While we can’t undo what has been done in the immediate, we welcome the backlash we’re seeing against these radical moves. We stand with our partners and global communities affected by work stoppages and divestments: we see you, we value you, and our hearts are with you. For now, we will continue to monitor these actions and share what we know, as shared knowledge is the foundation of collective action.
A New Brand for Broader Impact
As GHV continues to expand its partnerships beyond global health, we are embarking on a rebrand to better reflect the breadth of our work and the diverse organizations we support. From foundations and NGOs to multilateral institutions and private sector partners, our work now spans a wider range of development challenges, including environmental and climate-focused initiatives. This rebrand will strengthen our identity as a trusted, dynamic, and innovative consulting firm, deepening engagement with existing partners while welcoming new collaborations across the Global South and beyond. Stay tuned for more updates as we shape the future of GHV!
