Annual report: riding a wave of change

The title of this report, “Riding a Wave of Change”, refers not only to the flood of changes in development assistance for global health but also to the evolving discussions about the nature of funding for research in the field. The Alliance Biennial Review highlights, among other things, how fragmented research funding undermines research capacity in developing countries. The ongoing development of a WHO research strategy, as well as the work of the Intergovernmental Working Group on Public Health, Innovation and Intellectual Property, both hold promise for the emergence of a more rational approach to funding both developing country health research and, particularly, capacity development for that research.
