Our Approach
The ESTHER Alliance is set in the general framework of the Sustainable Development Goals.
We contribute mostly to SDG 3 Good Health and Wellbeing and SDF 17 Partnerships for the Goals. Those two goals taken together highlight not only what we want to achieve (better health for all, or Universal Health Coverage), but also how we want to achieve it (through better, more equal, and balanced partnerships.
Theory of change
The ESTHER partnership model has the capacity to deliver long-term results. These peer-to-peer partnerships are capable of inspiring institutions and individuals to change the way they work, improve the quality of service delivery and potentially influence health policy.
We support a variety of implementing partner institutions who are guided by our partnership principles that promote good practice. Our partnership projects deliver capacity development in a broad range of intervention areas. Our partnerships contribute to producing better evidence-based policy and practice, strengthened health workforce and institutions leading to improved quality of service delivery and ultimately to better health outcomes.
Our partnerships contribute towards progress of the Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Achieve healthy lives and wellbeing for all, at all ages).
The Alliance works very closely together with the WHO Global Health Workforce Network and with WHO African Partnerships for Patient Safety and with the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trial Partnership
