Shape the Evidence. Influence the Debate. Drive Change.
Why Partner with the Change Initiative?
The most important challenges in global health cannot be solved in isolation. They require diverse perspectives, shared investment, and the kind of independent, rigorous evidence that moves policymakers to act.
The Change Initiative offers organisations a unique opportunity to be part of that process, not as passive funders, but as active co-creators of the research and policy conversations that will define healthcare in the years ahead.
Our Partnership Model
Becoming a funding partner of the Change Initiative means joining a cross-sector coalition of leading organisations committed to evidence-based progress in global health. Partners provide unrestricted collaborative funding that allows OHE to develop rigorous, independent research, while playing an active role in shaping the research agenda and engaging with findings.
Partnerships are built around three principles:
Independence — All research is developed and published independently by OHE. Partners help shape the questions; OHE ensures the answers are credible, evidence-led, and policy-relevant.
Collaboration — Partners work alongside peers from across industry, multilaterals, civil society, and academia. The breadth of this coalition is what gives the Change Initiative’s outputs their authority and reach.
Impact — From white papers and policy briefings to expert roundtables and global media engagement, the Change Initiative is designed to translate research into real-world change. Partners are central to that dissemination.
What Partners Receive
An active voice in the research agenda: Partners contribute expertise, help scope research priorities, and validate findings, ensuring outputs are practically relevant and grounded in real-world experience.
Participation in expert roundtables and events: Partners nominate subject-matter experts to participate in closed-door roundtables, speak at public events, and contribute to webinars and policy forums.
Access to OHE’s global networks: Partners benefit from OHE’s extensive relationships across regulators, payers, HTA bodies, multilaterals, civil society, and government, networks built over more than six decades of independent research.
High-impact outputs for your organisation: Research produced by the Change Initiative: white papers, policy briefs, media coverage, and event insights, provides credible, independent evidence that can strengthen your organisation’s voice in policy discussions and demonstrate your commitment to addressing global health challenges.
