Global Health Advocates

What Global Health Advocates does

Global Health Advocates, operating under the legal name Action Santé Mondiale, is a French non-profit advocacy NGO headquartered at 176 rue du Temple, 75003 Paris, with a regional office in Brussels (Rue de l'Industrie 10, Mundo J). Founded in the early 2000s and guided by a 2022-2027 five-year strategy, the organization employs approximately 16 staff and operates as a community-led advocacy entity focused on influencing French and EU health policy. Its core mission is to address global health inequalities by advocating for increased French and European funding for international health responses, promoting innovative financing mechanisms such as the Financial Transaction Tax (TTF), strengthening health systems in developing countries, and ensuring policy coherence between domestic priorities and international commitments.

The organization's portfolio comprises roughly ten advocacy campaigns and programs spanning pandemic response (HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria), women's and children's health, malnutrition, development cooperation financing, research and development policy, and the climate-health intersection. Key programs include the 'Unis pour la santé' parliamentary club (launched June 2023) engaging French parliamentarians, the 'Une Dose de Solidarité' vaccination campaign, the 'Spoiler Alert' hunger campaign, and advocacy for France's contribution to the Global Fund and Nutrition for Growth (N4G) summit commitments. The organization does not develop proprietary technology products; its distribution is built on a content-marketing website (actionsantemondiale.fr), active Twitter accounts (@GHAFrance, @GHABrussels), direct parliamentary engagement, coalition-based media amplification, and academic events with partners such as Université Panthéon-Sorbonne.

As a non-profit under French loi 1901, Global Health Advocates is funded through grants, institutional funding, and donations rather than commercial sales. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is coalition-driven: it leads or partners in multi-NGO coalitions including the Collectif Santé Mondiale (10 NGOs such as Médecins du Monde, Oxfam France, Sidaction, ONE France), Action for Global Health (European network), and campaigns with Amref Health Africa France, Global Citizen, UNICEF, and ONE. The organization's 'customers' in the operational sense are French and EU policymakers, French parliamentarians, and civil society actors it mobilizes through campaigns, petitions, and policy briefings.
