Russia's Global Health Engagement

Judyth Twigg, Professor and Chair, Program in Political Science and International Studies, L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs, Virginia Commonwealth University; and Director, Eurasia Health Project and Senior Associate (Non-resident), Russia and Eurasia Program, CSIS, will focus on Russia's emergence in the international development community, examining health as a priority issue. It will analyze Russia's domestic institutional structure for health assistance, the channels—multilateral, bilateral, non-governmental, and commercial—through which Russia is active in global health, and the motivations driving Russia's actions in these areas. It will also touch on the implications of USAID's departure from Russia, given the substantial role health has played in the USAID portfolio.
