These case studies briefly describe existing or planned collaborative relationships, projects and transactions with the aim of sharing lessons learned with the wider global health community. They cover the spectrum of global health work including research, development, delivery, and financing mechanisms. ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS To complete this case study analysis, do the following:
