Health Strategic Planning

Imprimir

The focus is on

  • Orienting countries in the development of their National Health Plans through availing of guidelines and tools.
  • Providing integrated and coordinated approaches (leadership, advice, partnership) to countries in developing their National Health Strategic Plans.
  • Building capacities within the Ministries of Health (in collaboration with units in DSD and other AFRO Divisions) for dialogue, analysis and health strategic planning.

To date a total of 45 countries have developed/revised their NHSP showing an increase of 42% in the past 4 years. These plans are more comprehensive and are based on good situation analysis. In many countries these plans are the basis for harmonizing partnerships, ensuring alignment and facilitating coordination. They also contribute to strengthening country ownership and establishment of mutual accountability for results
