NORTH STAR
Navigating Global Health in the Global North: A Field Guide for Professionals from the Global South

You have done the work. You have led programmes, managed crises, and sat in rooms with ministers making decisions that affected millions of people.

Then you arrive in London, Geneva, Washington, Toronto, Paris, Sydney, or Copenhagen. And something shifts.

North Star is a field guide for global health professionals from Africa, parts of Asia and Oceania, Latin America and the Caribbean who are navigating the institutional architecture of global health in the Global North. It is honest, strategic, and grounded in two decades of real experience, including at the highest levels of the sector.

From understanding how major global health institutions actually work, to the currency of relationships that nobody writes down, the art of being seen without losing yourself, and sustaining a career across the decades it takes to have real influence, this book gives you the map that until now has only been available to those already inside the right networks.

Each chapter builds on the last. Chapter One sets the scene and frames the central argument. Chapters Two through Five go deep into the four domains of navigation: institutions, visibility, networks, and sustainability. Chapter Six ties the threads together, names the career traps that catch even exceptional professionals, and closes with the questions worth living with across the whole arc of a career.

This book does not ask you to be grateful for access. It does not ask you to be patient when patience is simply waiting for something that is not coming. What it offers instead is clarity. And in this sector, clarity is power.
