Health Diplomacy, Extractive Dynamics, and SRHR:
A Critical Power Analysis of the Shifting Global Health Architecture and National Sustainability
Online Event
10 June 2026
This webinar is part 2 of a virtual series hosted by the ICFP Power Shifting Subcommittee and the IBP Network on 10 June 2026. Global health agreements are rarely neutral.
This virtual event critically examines the power dynamics shaping bilateral and multilateral health diplomacy — and what they mean for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), national sovereignty, and health system sustainability in low- and middle-income countries.
Featuring legal scholars, policy experts, civil society leaders, and global health practitioners, the session will explore how donor priorities, policy conditionalities, and structural inequities reproduce extractive relationships — and what justice-centered, locally-driven alternatives look like.
You’ll walk away with:
- Critical analysis of power imbalances in health diplomacy and their impact on SRHR
- Concrete examples of extractive dynamics across key health agreements
- Discussion of policy restrictions, including the Global Gag Rule
- Strategies for building national agency and South-South cooperation
- Insights on advocacy priorities and equitable approaches to health and rights
