The Alliance targets its knowledge generation activities to subjects where there is clear demand from health systems leaders in LMICs, where there has been historic underinvestment and where the Alliance can further advance the field.

We have historically focused our contributions on strengthening the six building blocks of the health system. While these areas of work – health service delivery, the health workforce, health information systems, access to essential medicines, health systems financing, and leadership and governance – all remain central to the mandate of the Alliance, we are increasingly looking beyond these systems to broader determinants of health. Health systems resilience during emergencies, whether they be pandemics or the burgeoning climate crisis, is also a new focus of work.
