Working Groups

Part of the: 
Global Health Policy Center
The Center will address the national and international security aspects of global public health by advancing three separate initiatives:

  • HIV/AIDS Task Force: The CSIS HIV/AIDS Task Force is current in transition to its next phase as part of the larger CSIS Global Health Policy Center. Since its conception the CSIS HIV/AIDS task force sought to build bipartisan consensus on critical U.S. policy initiatives and to emphasize to senior U.S. policymakers, opinion leaders, and the corporate sector the centrality of U.S. leadership in strengthening country-level capacities to enhance prevention, care, and treatment of HIV/AIDS. J. Stephen Morrison, director of the Global Health Policy Center, managed the overall project, in cooperation with the CSIS Freeman Chair in China Studies, the CSIS Russia/Eurasia Program and the CSIS South Asia Program.

 

  • Working Group on Emerging Threats and Challenges. This working group is intended to be a flexible mechanism able to respond quickly to evolving circumstances to issues such as:
      • Food and water deficits
      • Climate change
      • XDR/MDR TB
      • Emerging non-communicable diseases

  • Working Group of the CSIS International Security Program: This working group will:
      • Engage U.S. military commands on public health efforts [(i.e. U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), U.S Southern Command (SOUTHCOM)]
      • Analyze how defense assets can be more fully used to combat emerging infectious diseases, aid in postwar reconstruction of public health institutions.
