MDG Health Alliance

The MDG Health Alliance is comprised of eminent leaders from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors working in conjunction with the Health and Education Cluster of the Secretary General’s MDG Advocates to support country efforts to accelerate progress toward achieving the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs 4, 5 and 6). Seven pillars underpin the work of the Alliance, each led by a respective Chair or Co-Chair, who is responsible for ensuring forward progress and coordination across agendas, convening networks of new and traditional partners, raising visibility, awareness, and resources, advocating in favor of increased public sector financing, and assisting with logistics and in-kind resources. The MDG Health Alliance is initiated and led by Ray Chambers, MDG Advocate and United Nations Secretary General’s Special Envoy for Financing the Health Millennium Development Goals and for Malaria.
