Notable achievements include revising USAID’s maternal and child health investment frameworks to align with the Sustainable Development Goals, evaluating USAID’s flagship maternal and child health program, and designing a $1 billion successor strategy.

She has also held leadership positions at Corus International and Abt Associates, managing global health and economic development portfolios across West Africa, francophone Central Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Bear has worked in more than 45 countries worldwide, including 11 years of residence in multiple countries throughout Africa and Asia.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“It has been a privilege to lead Jhpiego over the last 25 years, and I could not be more confident as I pass the baton to Dr. Allyson Bear,” said Dr. Leslie Mancuso, outgoing president and CEO of Jhpiego. “Her commitment to improving global health and her thoughtful, values-driven leadership give me great optimism for the future of the organization.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dr. Bear will succeed Dr. Leslie Mancuso, who has led Jhpiego since 2001 and announced her planned retirement in 2024.

private-sector scaling in any way that provides public benefit is that the market has been cornered by NGOs, and donors are paying for that.” —Zipline Africa CEO Caitlin Burton at the 2026 World Health Assembly\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Markets Don’t Just Appear\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Across global health, there is growing openness about what is and is not working, especially around aid dependency, market distortion, and the limits of current delivery models. Some argue that aid systems have unintentionally constrained local market development. Others point out that withdrawing support too quickly, before resilient national systems exist, can create real risks in areas such as outbreak response.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Both perspectives contain truth but suffer from historical amnesia. Markets like these did not just appear; they were built and matured.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For decades, there was no “market” to be cornered. What often gets lost is that this is not really about which sector is “right.” It is a question of how health systems and markets are built in the first place.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In many low-income settings, there was often no viable market to crowd out. There were patients who could not pay, governments without fiscal space, infrastructure gaps too costly to close, and risks no investor was willing to underwrite. Into that vacuum stepped publicly funded programs—often inefficient, yes; sometimes imperfect; but undeniably foundational.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>They built supply chains where none existed, generated demand where none was visible, trained health workers, strengthened procurement systems, supported regulatory and contracting environments, and established the very conditions that make private participation conceivable today.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If these systems were truly so distortive, why did private capital not arrive sooner?\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This question matters because it challenges an assumption embedded in much of this debate: that markets naturally exist and are later distorted by aid. But markets in such sectors are not waiting to emerge; they had to be built.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beyond the False Binary\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>What we may be witnessing now is not the crowding out of markets but their late arrival, once the cost of entry has been substantially subsidized. Public and philanthropic systems absorbed the risks commercial entities would not: political risk, infrastructure risk, workforce risk, last-mile delivery risk, and the realities of serving populations with limited purchasing power.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This does not mean critiques of the aid sector are invalid. Donor-funded systems have, at times, created fragmentation, parallel reporting structures, dependency, and inefficient incentives. Some programs became more accountable to funding cycles than to long-term sustainability. These are not trivial failures, and they deserve scrutiny. Nor is this to dismiss the role of the private sector. Its contribution to innovation and execution is real, often impressive.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But framing the challenge as “NGOs versus the private sector” risks creating a false binary that obscures the more important question: What capabilities does a system actually need, and what arrangements best sustain those capabilities over time? Too often, global health debates confuse actors with functions. The question is rarely whether governments, NGOs, donors, or private firms should dominate. The real question is whether the overall system aligns incentives, financing, accountability, and operational capacity toward sustainable public health outcomes.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>The Real Challenge\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Governments provide stewardship and legitimacy. Donors provide catalytic financing. Nonprofits bring flexibility and technical capacity. The private sector contributes innovation and operational efficiency. Communities provide trust and accountability.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The challenge is not the presence of any one actor. It is whether incentives, financing, and accountability are aligned in ways that allow these functions to reinforce, rather than undermine, one another over time.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In practice, grant funding has often functioned as de facto early-stage capital. It has financed infrastructure, de-risked delivery models, and helped generate demand where none previously existed. To characterize those same systems as “market distortion” once commercial viability emerges risks misunderstanding the sequence by which markets are actually formed.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>What is often missing from these conversations is a more honest discussion of incentives. Much of the global health sector still speaks primarily in moral language while avoiding the political and economic realities that shape institutional behavior. Donors operate under political cycles and pressure for measurable results. NGOs must sustain operations and workforce. Governments seek sovereignty and legitimacy. Companies require predictable revenue and return on investment. Communities seek trustworthy and accessible services. None of these incentives are inherently wrong. Problems emerge when they remain hidden or poorly aligned with long-term public health goals.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transition, Not Withdrawal\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A more useful exercise is to examine what capabilities a system actually needs and what arrangements best sustain those capabilities. Global health does not need less ambition. It needs more honesty about incentives, trade-offs, and what sustainable transition really requires. Resilient systems are not built through permanent external substitution, but neither are they built through abrupt withdrawal before sufficient capability exists. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Sustainability is not an event; it is a managed transition.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We believe the future of global health will not be secured by defending existing institutions or replacing them wholesale, but by understanding, codifying, replicating, and enhancing the sequence through which sustainable systems emerge.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The future should not be built by deciding which sector should win. If the question becomes which model should triumph, everyone loses.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Tigistu Ashengo (Tigi) MD, MPH is Jhpiego’s Chief Medical Officer.

Funded by Olivia Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good and implemented by Jhpiego Philippines in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) Schools Division of Ozamiz City, BRAVE is helping young people build knowledge, confidence, and resilience by equipping them to navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and advocate for their well-being while strengthening the systems that support them.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>At the heart of the initiative is a simple but powerful belief: when young people have access to trusted information, supportive mentors, and opportunities to lead, they are better equipped to make informed decisions about their health and future.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Key to the project is the expansion of school-based teen centers—safe, adolescent-friendly spaces that offer information, counseling, referrals, and peer support. In November 2025, Jhpiego and the DepEd Ozamiz City Schools Division doubled the number of teen centers in the division from five to ten. This expansion followed training for school heads, guidance personnel, and center managers on creating more inclusive school environments.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Located within schools, these centers provide support for young people on adolescent sexual and reproductive health, mental health, gender-based violence prevention, disaster preparedness, and other issues affecting adolescents.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The impact is already visible. Project data indicate a 25 percent reduction in teenage pregnancies in areas served by the teen centers, alongside improved access to health information and stronger connections to available services.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Building social will starts with creating spaces where young people feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed decisions about their health,” said Coleen Dolina-Anugon, project officer for sexual and reproductive health at Jhpiego Philippines. “Through BRAVE, we are not only providing information and services but also helping communities recognize adolescents as partners in creating healthier futures.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9245\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-300x225.jpeg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-768x576.jpeg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-720x540.jpeg 720w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-375x281.jpeg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-960x720.jpeg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1280x960.jpeg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-2560x1920.jpeg 2560w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-3840x2880.jpeg 3840w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Students-collaborate-in-groups-to-design-adolescent-friendly-IEC-materials-on-mental-health-ASRH-and-disaster-preparedness.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero.jpeg 4032w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Students collaborate in groups to design adolescent-friendly IEC materials on mental health, ASRH, and disaster preparedness.

By empowering youth leaders, the center is helping create a generation of adolescents who are more informed, responsible, and confident about their future.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In February 2026, students and teachers from across Ozamiz City participated in a two-day workshop to develop digital and print information, education, and communication materials on adolescent sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence prevention, mental health, and disaster preparedness.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“BRAVE gave us the opportunity to speak about issues that matter to young people and create materials that can help our fellow students make informed choices,” said Marchie Mae Candilla, president of the Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) at Montol National High School. “It showed us that our ideas and experiences can contribute to positive change in our schools and communities.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Beyond health education, BRAVE has invested in strengthening youth resilience through activities focused on psychological first aid, climate literacy, and leadership development, recognizing that young people face interconnected challenges and require holistic support to thrive.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9239\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-960x540.jpeg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-375x211.jpeg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1280x720.jpeg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-1920x1080.jpeg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero-2560x1440.jpeg 2560w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Inside-the-teen-center-at-Tabid-National-High-School-learners-can-access-confidential-counseling-and-youth-friendly-information.-Photo-by-Geri-Matthew-Carretero.jpeg 3520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Inside the teen center at Tabid National High School, learners can access confidential counseling and youth-friendly information.
