The Global Health Summit Project is a mechanism to bring decision makers together in the G8 chairing country to promote global health on the G8 agenda and to maintain continuity across G8 countries.
As the largest donor and most influential decision-making body, the G8 has unparalleled capacity in the global health arena. To achieve the goal of maintaining global health as a key G8 priority, the Project takes three innovative approaches: Engagement of top decision makers, Involvement of multi-stakeholders, and Community building and domestic follow-through.

| Goal |
Maintain global health as a key G8 priority |
Global health is no longer guaranteed a spot on the G8 agenda, crowded out by: |
| Approaches |
Engage top domestic decision makers in G8 (chairing) countries |
Global health experts often fail to engage key domestic decision makers (politicians, business leaders, etc.) |
|
Involve multi-stakeholders, including foundations, businesses, and NGOs |
G8 sherpa discussions focused primarily on government institutions |
|
|
Community building and domestic follow-through across G8 countries |
Sporadic efforts before the G8 with little continuity or collaboration |
