THE NEW STRATEGY TO DELIVER IMPACT TO PEOPLE

WHO’s new strategic plan, the Thirteenth General Programme of Work 2019–2023 (GPW 13) is structured around WHO’s bold triple billion targets for 2019–2023 and outlines the organizational shifts that are needed to ensure that WHO is fit-for-purpose.

PARTNERING FOR IMPACT

WHO is proactively promoting collaboration, mobilizing partnerships and encouraging the efforts of different health actors to respond to national and global health challenges. These engagements have been reviewed and implemented in accordance with WHO’s policies and rules, including the Framework of Engagement with Non-State Actors.

BIGGER, MORE FLEXIBLE AND PREDICTABLE FINANCING FOR GPW 13

Many enhancements have been made based on reviews and tailoring engagement with the funding profiles of contributors. The new resource mobilization strategic framework for 2019–2023 aims to innovate how WHO is mobilizing resources.

DRIVING IMPACT IN EVERY COUNTRY

Every effort to strengthen leadership, innovate partnerships and redesign processes is geared towards driving impact in countries. The development of the Programme budget 2020–2021 immediately operationalized the “country impact first” principle with integrated country support plans.

WHO’s regional offices launched functional reviews – a structured methodology to assess how to best align WHO’s workforce at the country level to the health situation, needs, priorities and strategic direction.

WHO DELIVERS WITH HIGH STANDARDS OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND INTEGRITY

WHO has embarked on an ambitious transformation process including the introduction of 13 redesigned core processes, a New WHO-wide operating model and the new integrated results framework and measurement system, amongst other initiatives.

The identification of the normative and data products that the World needs: the first-ever structured prioritization of global public health goods led to the identification of 329 normative and data products that WHO will deliver to achieve health impacts.

WHO committed to building a motivated and fit-for-purpose workforce by establishing a new and expanded Human Resources and Talent Department.

RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIES WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Working closely with a dedicated team within the Incident Management Team, the WHO Health Emergencies Programme has developed a strategic portfolio of effective digital management tools: Go.Data, e-SPAR, EMS2.

CHALLENGES AND LESSONS LEARNED

WHO is changing, but it needs to do so even more boldly. The Organization needs to continue scaling up its dialogue with donors to mobilize better quality resources, and more needs to be done to realize the eventual aim of a more agile and mobile workforce, with its accountability strengthened.
