Levelling the Terrain for Women in Global Health Leadership: A Case Study of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract

Stella Bakibinga, Elizabeth Bakibinga, John Daniel Ibembe, and Pauline Bakibinga reflect on mechanisms to narrow the gender employment and representation gap in global health in sub-Saharan Africa. They call for better laws, policies, and implementation to address inequity, improve mentoring and role modelling for younger women, remove institutional blocks, and have better access to resources and work to address harmful gender norms.
