How We Imagine Change

From fragmented intervention to institutional resilience, grounded in the vision of Reimagining Global Health.

Global Systems Context

Global health systems face donor contraction, sovereign debt pressure, workforce constraints, and fragmented accountability. The opportunity is not incremental improvement, but structural renewal anchored in integration, legitimacy, and locally led innovation.

Consultancy Philosophy

Sustainable impact in global health does not come from better projects. It comes from better institutions. My work focuses on the structural level where governance, financing, workforce design, data systems, and public trust intersect.

The approach is directional: clarify the public good, align incentives, build coherence, embed adaptive learning, and transfer ownership. The goal is to move from project logic to sustained public value.

From Paradigm Shift to Practice

Reimagining Global Health identifies six paradigm shifts. With & For translates these into institutional design and delivery decisions.

Epistemology

Clarify who defines success and what evidence counts.

Financing

Align budgets and incentives with outcomes and equity.

Governance

Strengthen accountable authority for delivery performance.

Innovation

Integrate digital and service innovation into system architecture.

Climate

Design resilience into planning, surveillance, and delivery models.

Pro-Sociality

Build legitimacy through community value and social trust.

Directional Theory of Change

  1. Clarify Public Good: define the problem, for whom, and measurable success; this is normative before it is technical.
  2. Align Incentives: reward outcomes, equity, and retention rather than disbursement or activity volume.
  3. Build Coherence: connect governance, financing, workforce, delivery, and digital architecture into one operating system.
  4. Embed Learning: institutionalize real-time feedback loops so strategy can adapt under pressure.
  5. Transfer Ownership: strengthen domestic capability, authority, and social legitimacy beyond donor cycles.

Result: from donor-dependent projects to resilient institutions that sustain public value.

Structural Alignment

Reimagining Global Health provides the normative and structural critique. With & For provides the applied pathway to institutional transformation.
