What’s new in this global health strategy, the GPW 14?
Building on the evaluation of WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work, 2019-2025 (GPW 13), the 2023 global monitoring report on UHC (2023)3 and lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, GPW 14:
(i) sets a global health agenda for WHO’s Secretariat and 194 Member States, together with the Organization’s partners;
(ii) includes an overarching theory of change articulating how WHO enables the joint actions needed to achieve the GPW strategic objectives and outcomes;
(iii) establishes priority focus areas, which are reflected in the strategic objectives and joint outcomes;
(iv) provides an enhanced results framework with recalibrated measurement indices, updated outcome indicators and ‘corporate’ outcomes that reflect the specific contributions of WHO; and (v) emphasizes stronger data foundations and digital systems at WHO and in countries.
