It provides an interactive and dynamic platform for critical reflexion on the complexity of global access to health. Under the flags of equity, partnership, and capacity building, it strives to link policies and guidelines to actual practice in the field. Combining scientific rigour and powerful testimonies, the Geneva Health Forum aims to provide integrated approaches and responses to global health challenges.

Research on social and environmental determinants of health, and new directions in e-health, impact evaluation, implementation research and participatory research will be explored. However, this is not an academic conference. There will be panel discussions and debates, round-tables for in-depth preparation, and a host of opportunities for networking in order to ensure that a step change can be made in the effectiveness of global and national efforts in research for health. <br><br> The conference is being co-organized by six partners working together, namely the Council on Health Research for Development, the Global Forum for Health Research, the Government of Mali, UNESCO, the World Bank and the World Health Organization. The Memorandum of Understanding for the conference was signed by four of the six partners at the World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland, on 22 May 2007. (UNESCO and the World Bank have agreed to sign the agreement without delay.) <br><br> The 2008 Global Ministerial Forum on Research for Health aims to bring together 1000 stakeholders including ministers of health, science &technology, and social development; researchers; civil society organizations; national research councils; donor agencies; philanthropic foundations; and representatives of the private sector. Participation will be by invitation, but a world-wide consultative process is being launched prior to the conference itself. Ministerial preparatory meetings and meetings of interested stakeholders are being organised in each region, and on-line consultative questionnaires are being prepared for your input, on this site.
