As the Global Health Initiative (GHI) moves into its third year of implementation, this paper summarizes the status of this major development initiative as of 2012, highlights challenges for the GHI, and proposes specific recommendations for the future. The GHI, announced in May 2009, presented a new way for the United States to do business in global health. The authors present several options to help GHI regain the promise it held. Most importantly, the Obama administration needs to quickly clarify its calibrated vision of the GHI and then clearly articulate that vision to stakeholders.
