Abstract

An increasing number of global health institutions are focusing on a human rights approach to increasing participation in making health decisions as a means of establishing legitimacy. This article analyses how global health institutions are enabling participation on the ground level. In 2012, the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria came up with a new funding model that required successful applicant countries to put human rights at the core of their proposed health projects. Using fieldwork from Uganda, the article focuses on how Uganda enabled participation among different stakeholders in the run-up to Uganda’s grant application process in 2014. Considering the limitations of these and other participatory approaches, the article proposes an approach to participation that is based on underlying vulnerabilities. This approach would consider intersectional vulnerabilities as a way of prioritising how groups are represented and allocated resources.
