Abstract

Cooperation in the health sector is one of the most important areas of Brazilian South-South technical cooperation with African countries. These initiatives were expanded in 2003, with an emphasis on cooperation with Lusophone African countries. Brazilian cooperation in the health sector is inspired by a number of domestic elements associated with the Brazilian public health system, particularly the constitutional recognition of the right to health and the provision of antiretrovirals through the public health system. In addition, the provision of cooperation in the health sector is connected to Brazil’s broader engagement in global health governance, where Brazil has historically promoted the rights and interests of countries of the Global South. The influence of these domestic and global dynamics, and their interaction with local conditions in Mozambique, is discussed in the analysis of how Brazil sought to cooperate in addressing HIV/AIDS by partnering with Mozambique to promote pharmaceutical production.
