Initiated in 2023, the Global Leaders Network is the first and only Global South-led global health diplomacy initiative to support the attainment of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals related to women, children and adolescents.
We are creating a pathway towards the reduction of maternal, neonatal, and adolescent mortality rates by a third in network countries by 2030.

Based on current trends, most countries will fail to reach 2030 SDG targets for improving women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health. Alarmingly, 46 countries are off-track in meeting the SDG target for maternal mortality, and 59 countries are off-track in meeting the under-5 child mortality SDG target.
To galvanize progress, political leadership at the highest level is urgently required to drive investment, partnerships and policies that will deliver quality and affordable healthcare for all.
The Global Leaders Network for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health aims to Elevate women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health to the highest political agenda in member countries.
We will drive action to protect the most vulnerable, improve gender equality, and ensure health, well-being and broad-based social and economic progress guided by the 2030 goals.
