Abstract

This study aims to trace the history of the World Health Organization’s engagement with non-state actors from its inception to approval of the World Health Organization’s Framework of Engagement with Non-State Actors. Exploratory documental research, with a qualitative approach, was carried out, with a review of the literature and institutional documents found in WHO Library. Findings showed an increase in number of actors in the International System and a reduction in the power of the World Health Organization and in the provision of financial resources by its Member States throughout the Organization’s history. A relationship was also found between the diversification in the types of actors in the international system and a reduction of World Health Organization’s influence in the processes of global health governance.
