Global public–private partnership
Global public–private partnership (GPPP) is a governance mechanism to foster public–private partnership (PPP) cooperation between an international intergovernmental organisation like the United Nations and private companies.
Existing GPPPs strive, among other things, to increase affordable access to essential drugs in developing countries,[1] and to promote handwashing with soap to reduce diarrhoea.[2]
Some of the work of the World Health Organization (WHO) may be considered global public–private partnerships (GPPPs).[opinion] The WHO is financed through the UN system by contributions from member states. In recent years, WHO's work has involved more collaboration with NGOs and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as with foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. 15% of WHO's total revenue in 2012 was financed by private foundations.[3]
