The ACTION Global Health Advocacy Partnership is a group of 15 locally rooted independent member organizations around the world, advocating together with allies and champions for a world where all people have equitable access to health. Our mission is to influence policy and mobilize resources to fight diseases of poverty and achieve equitable access to health.
In 2017, ACTION launched its Strategic Framework for 2017–2021 to focus its advocacy on three thematic pillars: 1) ending the epidemics; 2) giving all children a healthy start, with equal opportunity for girls and women to thrive; and 3) building equitable and sustainable systems. These pillars represent objectives that we seek to achieve by enhancing our impact, influence, and partnership, so we can galvanize political will to achieve the ambitious sustainable development agenda.
The ACTION partnership, which was established in 2004, is supported by a secretariat located in Washington, DC, and hosted by RESULTS Educational Fund. RESULTS believes that poverty cannot end as long as oppression exists and is committed to creating an equitable workplace. People of color, members of LGBTQ+ communities, and people with firsthand experience of poverty are strongly encouraged to apply.
You have an amazing opportunity to make a big difference in advancing health equity around the globe.
