This interactive presentation will set the larger context of the global health industry, including emerging needs and the challenges of implementation. The need for strong partnerships and techniques to foster these connections will also be discussed. Participants will also be exposed to the role donors play in the global public health arena. During this session there will be a facilitated discussion based on the responses from the self assessments students conducted earlier in the program.
