Stream 1 – Act | Turning Strategy into Shared Momentum
What are the high priority research questions that if answered will support evidence-shaped action in to advance Global Eye Health?
This session will be the first public presentation of the findings of the WHO Global Research Agenda for Eye Health project. It will outline the identified high-priority questions in areas including cataract, refractive error, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and child eye health, and will be forward looking to action needed to answer them.
What makes eye health compelling for ministries including and beyond health, and how do countries embed it in their highest-level strategies?
This session surfaces the strategies, alliances and system shifts that enabled national commitments in the first place. It focuses on what worked behind the scenes and how different stakeholders helped translate ambition into sustained national prioritisation.
How can eye health strengthen universal health coverage, and what does meaningful integration look like in practice?
This session examines what integration actually requires across policy, workforce, financing and delivery systems. It highlights practical models that improve impact while strengthening the case for sustained national investment.
How can organisations shape and communicate their ambitions as actionable commitments that align with the global strategy and contribute to the Global Summit for Eye Health?
Through practical guidance and sector-based discussion, participants will develop concrete commitment ideas and test how to position them clearly and credibly. The session will also explore opportunities for commitments to reinforce one another and drive collective impact.
What would it take to fully align the eye health sector around shared indicators and joined up data?
This session introduces the 2030 In Sight Data for Success Framework, designed to bring greater coherence to how progress is measured, reported and communicated across the sector. Stronger alignment supports better decisions, clearer accountability and more effective advocacy at national and global levels.
What must eye health look like in a world shaped by political change, a rise in populism, climate pressure, and economic uncertainty?
This debate examines the world we are in, how the eye health must remain flexible, and support national growth. A conversation linking today’s commitments to tomorrow’s world.
