​The Open Society Institute's Public Health Programme works to advance the health and rights of marginalised people by building the capacity of civil society leaders and organisations and advocating for accountability and a strong civil society role in health policy and practice.

ODI staff are working with the Open Society Institute to develop a background paper for a meeting: 'Towards better development assistance: strengthening accountability and transparency at the local and national level with a focus on health', and are also assisting in developing the agenda and contributing to the event by acting as rapporteurs.
