This document discusses principles for civil society regarding global health funding. It makes three main points: 1) All health initiatives, including priority diseases and health system strengthening, require more funding to achieve universal primary healthcare coverage. Priority programs need to better integrate with primary care systems. 2) Both developing country governments and donors must increase long-term, predictable funding to address the major funding gaps for health worker education and salaries, HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, and maternal and child health. 3) Civil society voices, especially grassroots organizations, must be meaningfully included in health governance and funding decisions at both the national and international levels.
