“…These observations and priorities are consistent with past surveys of global health leaders and their partners. 2 The process of conference planning and partner engagement is consistent with published recommendations for an approach to global health partnerships. 3,4 Notable aspects of the DGHI Partnership Conference included bringing partners from 14 different sites to a host institution with a breadth of intellectual disciplines across the university and including the medical center.…”

Child mortality remains a global health challenge and has resulted in demand for expanding the global child health (GCH) workforce over the last 3 decades. Institutional partnerships are the cornerstone of sustainable education, research, clinical service, and advocacy for GCH. When successful, partnerships can become self-sustaining and support development of much-needed training programs in resource-constrained settings. Conversely, poorly conceptualized, constructed, or maintained partnerships may inadvertently contribute to the deterioration of health systems. In this comprehensive, literature-based, expert consensus review we present a definition of partnerships for GCH, review their genesis, evolution, and scope, describe participating organizations, and highlight benefits and challenges associated with GCH partnerships. Additionally, we suggest a framework for applying sound ethical and public health principles for GCH that includes 7 guiding principles and 4 core practices along with a structure for evaluating GCH partnerships. Finally, we highlight current knowledge gaps to stimulate further work in these areas. With awareness of the potential benefits and challenges of GCH partnerships, as well as shared dedication to guiding principles and core practices, GCH partnerships hold vast potential to positively impact child health.

“…10,11 Further, studies have identified that key process factors such as establishing mutual goals, establishing project oversight, monitoring, feedback, and communication are required for successful implementation of global health partnerships. 12 However, there is an important evidence gap regarding why certain global partnerships work while others fail. [13][14][15][16] This study explored global health partnerships in continuing medical education to understand how interactions between individual players in different contexts influence the outcomes of these partnerships.…”

The past decade has witnessed an increase in global partnerships created to strengthen health systems and provide training to health professionals in low-and middle-income countries. These partnerships are complex interventions. This study focused on unpacking the characteristics of global partnerships that provide continuing education for health professionals. A realist approach underpinned the research design to identify the mechanisms that shape successful global partnerships. Two case studies focusing on global continuing medical education (CME) were studied longitudinally using a realist evaluation approach. To complement that finding, published research reports of global CME partnerships were synthesized using a realist synthesis approach. Data were collected over a three-year period and included interviews, participant observations, document reviews, and surveys. A hybrid thematic approach guided the data analysis. The study results suggested that global CME partnerships are highly dependent on human factors. On the one hand, motivational factors related to individual players help to shape the partnership goals, directions, and outcomes. On the other hand, relational factors such as trust, communication, and understanding play a key role in developing and sustaining global partnerships. As such, these partnerships highly rely on the individuals who champion the partnership at the country level or at the partnership level and in their ability to build relationships as well as empower key stakeholders.
