PROGRAM ON GLOBAL HEALTH JUSTICE AND GOVERNANCE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY MAILMAN SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH
The Global Health Justice and Governance Program (GHJGP) is a university-wide initiative housed in the Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. GHJGP seeks to combine Mailman's scientific, human rights, and policy expertise to promote justice across three domains: gender, environmental, and food justice. GHJGP's mission is to address the political determinants of adverse health outcomes across these domains. Through collaborative research with a diverse array of partners, GHJGP highlights the need for and helps to establish improved governance. GHJGP's work explicitly interrogates the role of law, policy, governance and accountability in promoting – or undermining – justice. We analyze standards of evidence used by donors to evaluate the "success" of interventions and assess which stakeholders are unable to establish "success" by these standards.
