This chapter charts the shift from a world dominated by a small number of global health actors—principally the World Health Organization, UNICEF and UNFPA—to a new world where there are many new actors in women’s and children’s health. This process has been accompanied by a large increase in aid for global health since the 1990s. The chapter charts the size and roles of these actors. It argues that all of them need to adapt to the new challenges of women’s and children’s health, and that governments of developing countries will play more of a role in the response to those challenges. A reformed WHO could shape government action in this area positively.
