Ecosystem Partnerships &
Custom Leadership Offerings

Your people are ready to lead. Give them what the sector rarely provides.

Technical expertise is abundant, but leadership capacity hasn’t kept pace. Since 2009, GHC has equipped 1,400+ leaders across the U.S. and Sub-Saharan Africa with the tools to transform health systems — and now we co-design that same proven development for your team, your grantees, and your network.

The leadership gap is real and it’s compounding.

Across the global health ecosystem, organizations face the same persistent challenges:

First-time and emerging managers asked to lead without the tools to do so

Teams navigating burnout, organizational change, and sector uncertainty

Leaders expected to influence across systems without formal authority

Funders seeking greater return on investment through stronger institutions and people

Leadership capacity is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s a systems necessity.

GHC isn’t a training provider. We’re a leadership development partner.

For over than sixteen years, GHC has built leadership capacity rooted in equity, context, and lived experience. We understand the power, culture, and realities your leaders face on the ground and how it impacts their work. As a partner, we adapt our leadership curriculum to fit your organization’s work, turning your investment in people into sustained impact.

Who We Partner With

Built for organizations investing in people as a pathway to stronger systems.

GHC partners with funders, implementing organizations, institutions, and networks across the global health community to build durable leadership capacity.

Funders & Foundations

Supercharge programmatic investments by upskilling the people and institutions you already fund. Stronger leaders mean stronger returns.

Implementing Organizations

Equip first-time managers, strengthen teams navigating change, and build a leadership bench that sustains your mission for the long-run.

Institutions & Universities

Complement technical training with the leadership and management skills that turn bright, early-career talent into effective leaders.

Networks & Fellowships

Enrich cohorts, fellowships, and convenings with high-engagement leadership programming built to integrate into your existing agenda.

What We Offer

Four leadership pathways. Modular by design.

Partners can engage through a single session, a short learning arc, or a full cohort-based journey. Every program follows adult learning best practices and is tailored to participant context.

Interactive sessions that equip participants with practical tools they can immediately apply to their work. These 1-2 hour sessions can be facilitated virtually or in-person and delivered as a standalone lesson or a broader learning arc. 

Topics include: 

Managing People, Feedback & Delegation, Team Effectiveness, Communication Norms, Resilience & Well-being, and Influence Across Systems

Structured, short to multi-month series that combine facilitated learning, peer exchange, and real-world application to strengthen leadership practice over time. 

Ideal for sustained group development, these series include: 

Facilitated sessions, peer reflection, applied projects, and light-touch impact measurement. 

High-engagement programming designed for existing team gatherings, convenings, and retreats — custom-built for engagement, not passive listening, and integrated into your schedule and goals.

Ideal settings: 

Annual team retreats, fellowship orientations, staff convenings, in-service training days

Structures that sustain learning beyond formal sessions and embed a culture of leadership practice. These structures normalize leadership conversations and reinforcing ongoing growth: 

Peer coaching circles, guided check-ins, and reflection tools

 

Our Ecosystem Approach

Four leadership pathways. Modular by design.

Partners can engage through a single session, a short learning arc, or a full cohort-based journey. Every program follows adult learning best practices and is tailored to participant context.

We co-design with you.

Offerings are aligned to your real organizational and system needs — never one-size-fits-all.

We work across levels.

Individual, team, and cohort — meeting leaders wherever growth needs to happen.

We embed learning into the work.

So insights translate into day-to-day practice, not just workshop takeaways.

We create inclusive spaces.

Centering reflection, peer exchange, and accountability in every engagement.

How Partnership Works

A collaborative process, scoped to you.

Scope

Clarify goals, audiences, and context together.

Co-design

Create offerings aligned to those goals.

Define

Establish success measures upfront.

Deliver

High-quality facilitation & learning materials.

Fee structure

GHC works with partners to develop a tailored scope of work with clear deliverables, timelines, and budget — generally structured around an overall project rate and/or component-based pricing, depending on your needs. GHC’s earned-income work is intentionally designed to reinforce, not replace, our mission: every partnership contributes to a healthier, more connected leadership ecosystem.

Our Facilitators

Delivered by a team with deep roots on the ground.

GHC’s programming is led by experienced practitioners in leadership development, public health, and systems change across the U.S. and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Let's build leadership capacity that lasts, together.

Beginning with a conversation, we’ll explore how leadership development can strengthen your people, your programs, and the broader ecosystem you’re part of.
