Making Gender a Global Health Priority: A Report of the CSIS Global Health Policy Center
This report proposes that a gender-focused approach to global health build on four cornerstones:
- maternal child health and family planning
- infectious diseases that disproportionately affect women
- gender-based violence
- food security.
These areas are clearly linked and underscore the importance of an integrated, comprehensive global health policy. To operationalize this approach, the report focuses on three key recommendations for the Obama administration:
- require a gender lens in program design and implementation,
- support capacity strengthening and resource mobilization, and
- coordinate among U.S. government agencies and promote U.S. global leadership.

The report provides useful insights and details that can assist policymakers in making informed decisions. In view of the important effects of the migration of health professionals on Africa’s largely rural populations, the report proposes comprehensive and integrated approaches that, if implemented, should be able to reduce the outward flow of professionals from the health sector.

Millennium Development Goals Report Card: Measuring Progress Across Countries
This report presents data on how countries are closing in on the MDG targets. It unpacks the targets and indicators to map out how the development process is playing out across countries and continents. It goes beyond standard global and country-level assessments to provide insights into how these gains are being shared across income, rural-urban and gender groups. It identi?es the ‘star’ performers that have made the greatest gains, shines a light on unexpected outcomes from the pursuit of the MDG targets and sounds out warnings where progress has stalled or is heading in the wrong direction.

TIME TO ACT: The Global Emergency of Non-Communicable Diseases
On 19 May 2009, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), World Heart Federation (WHF) and International Union Against Cancer (UICC) held a joint event during the 62nd World Health Assembly.

This report contains a selection of quotes from the event and also features a variety of guest perspectives on the growing threat of NCDs.
