The Global Health Initiative was created by a number of global health organizations in order to issue policy recommendations to the President of the United States. Health Alliance International, an affiliate of the University of Washington Department of Global Health co-wrote the global health policy recommendations. 

The Global Health Initiative issued the following recommendations for the next phase of U.S. global health support:

• Ambitious scale up of U.S. assistance for health that saves even more lives through new, innovative programming.
• New resources-with the U.S. contributing its fair share to efforts-rather than taking from one area of promised support and giving to another.
• The U.S. to lead the world to reach the health Millenium Development Goals and do so in ways which build access to comprehensive primary healthcare and provide a rights-based approach to health for all people.
• Reform of U.S. foreign assistance to ensure it is outcomes-driven, based on results for those most in need, and ambitiously aimed toward universal access.
