“…This assistance includes funding, resources, and expertise to strengthen healthcare systems, implement preventive measures, and improve access to diagnostics and treatment. Examples include the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria and the President's Malaria Initiative, which provide aid for malaria control programs, bed net distribution, and drug procurement [58,59]. As in [55], f is modeled through the Cobb-Douglas production function [60].…”

The mosquito-borne disease (malaria) imposes significant challenges on human health, healthcare systems, and economic growth/productivity. This study develops and analyzes a model to understand the interplay between malaria dynamics, economic growth, and transient events. The study uncovers varied effects of disease and economic parameters on model outcomes, highlighting the interdependence of the reproduction number (R0) on both disease and economic factors, and a reciprocal relationship where malaria diminishes economic productivity, while higher economic output is associated with reduced malaria prevalence. This emphasizes the intricate interplay between malaria dynamics and socio-economic factors. Also, the study offers insights into malaria control and underscores the significance of optimizing external aid allocation, especially favoring an even distribution strategy, with the most significant reduction observed in the equal monthly distribution strategy compared to longer distribution intervals. Furthermore, the study shows that controlling malaria in high mosquito biting areas with limited aid, low technology, inadequate treatment, or low economic investment is challenging. The model exhibits a backward bifurcation implying that sustainability of control and mitigation measures is essential even whenR0is slightly less than one. Additionally, there is a parameter regime for which long transients are feasible. Long transients are critical for predicting the behavior of dynamic systems and identifying factors influencing transitions; they reveal reservoirs of infection, vital for disease control. Policy recommendations include prioritizing sustained control measures, optimizing external aid allocation, and reducing mosquito biting for effective disease control.

“…The idea for a new Global Fund-a public-private partnership to finance the fight against three major diseases (AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria)-first made it onto the agenda at the 2000 G8 Summit in Okinawa. The official Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria was established the following year (Bartsch 2007).…”

Contested multilateralism

"Contested multilateralism" describes the situation that results from the pursuit of strategies by states, multilateral organizations, and non-state actors to use multilateral institutions, existing or newly created, to challenge the rules, practices, or missions of existing multilateral institutions. It occurs when coalitions dissatisfied with existing institutions combine threats of exit, voice, and the creation of alternative institutions to pursue policies and practices different from those of existing institutions. Contested multilateralism takes two principal forms: regime shifting and competitive regime creation. It can be observed across issue areas. It shapes patterns of international cooperation and discord on key security concerns such as combating terrorist financing, halting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and banning certain conventional weapons. It is also evident on economic issues involving intellectual property, on environmental and energy issues, and in the realm of global public health. The sources of dissatisfaction are primarily exogenous, and the institutions used to challenge the status quo range from traditional treaties or intergovernmental organizations to informal networks, some of which include non-state actors. Some institutions are winners from the process of contested multilateralism; others may lose authority or status. Although we do not propose an explanatory theory of contested multilateralism, we do suggest that this concept provides a useful framework for understanding changes in regime complexes and the strategies that generate such changes.

“…Also, pro t versus not-for-pro t actors can be distinguished. Furthermore, hybrid forms of global social policy actors can be found, a characterization that has been used to describe, for example, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Bartsch 2005).…”

Actors and Agency in Global Social Governance

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The introduction paves the way for an actor-centred approach to global social governance. The chapter highlights the necessity to think beyond existing conceptualizations and approaches, by combining di erent analytical tools from social policy, international relations, global governance research and comparative politics research. Di erent notions of agency and governance mechanisms at the disposal of di erent groups of actors are introduced, and applied to speci c groups of actors. That includes both, individual legitimacy (e.g. institutional characteristics, constitutions, mandates), and structural contexts to global social governance. The chapter introduces the key questions running through the volume: what constitutes global social governance actors? How can global social policy actors be classi ed? What makes global social policy actors legitimate? What is the relationship between global social policy actors? By what mechanisms do global social policy actors exert in uence?
