RAISE Global Health

Over RAISE Global Health

As passionate advocates for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), intersectional gender justice, and global health equity, the founders of RAISE are actively addressing the aforementioned pressing issue of the missing intersectional feminist and decolonization/anti-colonial perspectives in current global health projects and consultancy industry. Our extensive experience working in international and global health consulting has provided us with invaluable insights that have only deepened our conviction that we have a vital role to play in reshaping this field. We are determined to harness our collective values and expertise to bring about a more sustainable and equitable approach to global health initiatives by creating RAISE Global Health. Decolonizing efforts in global health and related development sectors are often tokenistic and fail to address the deep-seated power imbalances and historical injustices perpetuated by colonialism. The perspective of the ‘white gaze’ continues to be centered around the development, implementation, and evaluation of international development projects. Similarly, gender related approaches (or even those labeled ‘feminist’ approach) are often narrowly focused on women's/female’s health and neglect the intersectionality of gender with other social, political, and commercial determinants.

We engage in strategic, transparent, and equitable collaboration with international experts (by lived experience and/or formal training) when applying to global health projects. Billing rates for ourselves and our external collaborators during proposal writing is transparently agreed upon and credit is given where credit is due. With this we take on the brunt of the administrative burden during the acquisition process as we recognize the persistent and layered problem of unpaid labor in global health.
