    <title>CSIS Global Health Policy Center</title>
    <link>http://csis.org/globalhealth/</link>
    <description>The CSIS Global Health Policy Center will bridge the foreign policy and public health communities by creating a strategy for U.S. engagement on global health. Building upon the success and momentum of the CSIS Task Force on HIV/AIDS (2001-2008) and the Task Force on the Global Food Crisis (May-July 2008), the Global Health Policy Center aims to address a more diverse and evolving set of global health challenges. Made possible by a three-year grant from the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, the Global Health Policy Center organizes its efforts and activities around four main objectives:

1. Defining a long term, strategic plan for the U.S. approach to global health

2. Creating new political champions

3. Addressing security and development dimensions of global health.

4. Building regional cooperation and addressing challenges in global health governance.</description>
