Abstract

Global health initiatives have struggled to balance universal objectives with local health needs, often compromising sustainable healthcare outcomes. This chapter explores “glocalization” as a transformative approach to health advocacy in Africa, bridging the gap between global frameworks and local healthcare realities. By synthesizing global norms with localized strategies, glocalization addresses power imbalances and positions Africa as a key factor in determining its health future while participating in global health governance. Through case studies of the Voix EssentiELLES initiative and Lusaka Agenda, the chapter demonstrates how African-led approaches can align global health efforts with local priorities. The analysis highlights how civil society engagement, private sector partnerships, and enhanced policy transfer can create a sustainable glocal approach to health advocacy in Africa.
