IHEID Multi-stakeholder diplomacy is evolving rapidly, not only as a key cross-cutting strategic component in international relations, but also by the magnitude of actors involved in global health. A range of stakeholders from governments, civil society organisations and the private sector play influential roles at varying stages and levels of global health diplomacy. This complexity requires a better analysis and assessment of the interests and needs of each stakeholder, and new leadership skills to act effectively in such diverse environments. This course will seek to explain how the many stakeholders interact and manage their roles and responsibilities at various stages of the negotiation processes, and how they balance requirements, expectations and accountability.
