The Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research (CCGHR) is a not-for-profit organization promoting better and more equitable health worldwide through the production and use of knowledge.
With an orientation toward health research challenges in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) to reduce health disparities, we are a Canada-based global network committed to:
- strengthening capacities of individuals, institutions and systems in Canada and LMICs to produce and use knowledge
- speaking as Canada’s voice for global health research
- building effective, equitable and respectful south-north research partnerships
- connecting people, ideas and expertise
- learning from and communicating our work
Our members include:
- Global health researchers
- People actively engaged in applying research to improve global health
- Organizations interested in funding health research
- Members of the general public who share our vision and goals.
The Coalition began in 2001 as an informal network and has evolved through generous support from the
Canadian International Development Agency, the
Canadian Institutes of Health Research,
Health Canada, the
International Development Research Centre and other foundations.
The Coalition is a registered Canadian charity and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.
