funding

What would the global health funding ecosystem look like if solidarity were not just a value — but a practice embedded in decision-making, governance, and accountability?

This question anchored two intensive days of conversation in Johannesburg, convened by EthicsLab at the University of Cape Town as part of the Global Health Solidarity Project.

26 June 2025- The Global Health Solidarity Open Forum took place on June 25, 2025, under the theme ‘A Solidarity of the Shaken? From Despair to Collective Action’. The virtual gathering brought together over 150 attendees including researchers, civil society organisations and activists, practitioners, and scholars from 33 countries. The event aimed to explore how solidarity can shape responses to global health challenges amid shifting political and funding landscapes.
