Background: "Harmonization" is the degree to which global health efforts (research, clinical, etc) share information and coordinate with each other to avoid duplication of efforts and maximize efficacy.

The Paris Declaration (PD) (2005) and Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) (2008) outlined the critical need for higher levels of collaboration, transparency and coordination between research efforts, both at national and international levels. The lack of harmonization among care providers, volunteers, donors, NGOs, governments and others leads to duplication of efforts, diminished benefits from collaboration, unnecessary competition for funding and hindrance of progress.
