Moving from monitoring to accountability: Upholding Rights & Commitments of Global Health 50/50

Led by Global Health 50/50.


For the past 7 years, GH5050 has annually published evidence on equality and diversity in the global health sector. Drawing on principles of accountability (i.e. independence and transparency) and rooted in human rights frames, we have examined issues ranging from Board diversity to organisational policies to realise sexual and reproductive health and rights across the (employee) lifecourse in 200 organisations that exist in the global health ecosystem. Data trends over time have shown that commitments to equality have increased, but positive changes across many outcome variables (e.g. equitable leadership) remain elusive.
