In the sixth and final session of the GLN’s Domestic Resource Mobilisation Webinar Series, held at the World Health Summit Regional Meeting in Nairobi, the GLN, together with the Global Fund and the Gates Foundation, convened health financing experts, government representatives, civil society leaders, and development partners to examine how debt swaps can be strategically deployed to increase and sustain investments in women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health. With 58% of low-income countries now spending more on external debt than on healthcare, the session made the case that debt swaps, when structured well, offer a practical, tested pathway to turn fiscal constraint into health investment for women, children and adolescents.
