Description
[Introduction]. This document is a statement of the PAHO/WHO strategy for technical cooperation with Brazil for the period 2008 - 2012. It addresses priorities, the strategic approach and types of such cooperation. It was developed in consultation with Brazilian government, state and city government representatives, health-related NGOs and other international organizations that cooperate with Brazil in areas where development intersects with public health. Moreover, the negotiation of the strategy also meant working side by side with different PAHO/WHO departments and units at the national, regional and global levels. The formulation of the Country Cooperation Strategy (Strategy) was carried out by means of a detailed review of the priorities and policies in health and development that will be implemented in Brazil during the next few years. In this respect, its development is an important component of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). The Strategy was prepared based on a careful evaluation of the advances, challenges and opportunities for improvement in PAHO/WHO cooperation with Brazil, as well as on the assessment of priorities and policies that the Organization and Country are to implement in the near future, within the framework of national, regional and global commitments for development.

Item PAHO/WHO Country Cooperation: Republic of Suriname 2023-2025(PAHO, 2023)The PAHO/WHO Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) for Suriname provides a clear understanding of the medium-term vision that will guide the implementation of the PAHO/WHO’s technical cooperation at the national level. Through this three-year CCS for Suriname, PAHO/WHO will continue to support national health policies, strategies and plans while working and collaborating with other United Nations (UN) and development partners to advance universal health and sustainable development. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the Regional Office for the Americas for the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the overall programme of work and development framework for the countries, based on the PAHO Strategic Plan 2020-2025. The CCS is aligned with the national health priorities, the national development agenda, the PAHO Strategic Plan 2020-2025, the United Nation’s Multi-Country Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for the Dutch and English-speaking Caribbean 2022-2026 (UNMSDCF 2022-2026) and the Sustainable Health Agenda for the Americas (SHAA2030).Item PAHO/WHO Country Cooperation: Belize 2008-2011(PAHO, 2009)[Executive Summary] Over the period of January to July 2008, the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) undertook a participatory process to formulate a Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) for its work with, and in, Belize over the mediumterm. Led by the PAHO/WHO Representative in Belize, a CCS team comprising members from all levels of the Organization worked to define and implement the process for developing the Belize CCS, based on previous experiences in PAHO and the revised (2008) CCS methodology formulated by WHO. Significant preparatory work was done, including a review of documents, the development and/or revision of tools to gather and process information on health and health-related issues in Belize, and consultations held with key players within and outside of the Organization on national health priorities and needs. In addition to this qualitative information, the CCS noted national health development priorities as outlined in frameworks such as the Belize Health Agenda 2007–2011, the National Poverty Elimination Strategy and Action Plan 2007–2011, and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework 2007–2011. These priorities were analyzed in the context of global, regional, and subregional agreements that impact health—such as the Millennium Development Goals, the WHO 11th General Program of Work 2006–2015, the Health Agenda for the Americas 2008–2017, and the Caribbean Cooperation in Health initiative— as well as that of PAHO/WHO’s comparative advantage as a technical cooperation agency in assisting Belize to address identified national health development priorities. The CCS reflects objectives for technical cooperation set out in the WHO Medium-Term Strategic Plan 2008–2013 and the PAHO Strategic Plan 2008–2012.Item PAHO/WHO Country Cooperation: Belize 2017-2021(PAHO, 2017)The Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) provides technical cooperation through the PAHO/WHO Country Office in Belize. The Country Cooperation Strategy outlines the medium-term vision that will guide PAHO/WHO’s work Belize in support of the country’s National Health Sector Strategic Plan 2014-2024. PAHO/WHO works with the MOH (as its main counterpart) and other partners to strengthen health sector capacity and advance priority programs. The priorities of the CCS are also aligned to the PAHO Strategic Plan 2014-2019 (HSSP), “Championing Health: Sustainable Development and Equity” and to the health and health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and encouraging greater multisectoral collaboration in the country. PAHO is committed to ensuring that all people have access to the health care they need, when they need it, with quality and without fear of falling into poverty. Through its work, PAHO promotes the concepts of Universal Health and Health in All Policies (HiAP). This five (5) year CCS builds on the achievements of the 2008-2011 CCS and the technical cooperation provided by the PAHO HQ and the Country Office since 2011. The development process was participatory involving all levels of PAHO and a wide range of stakeholders at the national level. It used a results-based management framework approach to clearly identify results at each level, the relationship between planning and accountability and the respective responsibilities of Belize, PAHO and other relevant agencies. The (Country Coperation Strategy) CCS’ Strategic Agenda lays out the Strategic Priorities (SPs) and Focus Areas (FAs) for PAHO’s Technical Cooperation with its member countries. The SPs constitute the medium-term priorities for PAHO/ WHO’s cooperation with Belize, on which the Organization will concentrate the majority of its resources over the CCS cycle. The CCS FAs are the “what”, reflecting the expected achievements required to realize the strategic priority. Each focus area should link directly with at least a HSSP priority, a PAHO Strategic Plan outcome, indirectly with a health or health-related SDG target and the development priorities of the UN MSDF for the Caribbean. Based on the findings of the recently completed Health in Americas 2017 Chapter for Belize, consultations with senior technical officers from the Ministry of Health and considering national, subregional and global frameworks as well as the PAHO Strategic Plan 2014-2019, four (4) SPs were identified for the focus of PAHO’s technical cooperation for the 2017-2021 Country Cooperation Strategy.Item PAHO/WHO Country Cooperation: Jamaica 2017-2022(PAHO, 2017)[Foreword - Dr. Carissa F. Etienne]. "The Pan American Health Organization and the World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) have always played an important role in supporting the development and implementation of health policies, strategies and plans that are geared towards improving the health outcomes of persons living in Jamaica. It is within this context that PAHO/WHO has developed this 2017-2022 Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) for Jamaica. The CCS outlines the medium-term vision that will guide PAHO/WHO’s technical cooperation with Jamaica in support of its national health priorities over the next five years. Through this five-year strategy, PAHO/WHO will also continue to work and collaborate with other United Nations and development partners to achieve universal health and the Sustainable Development Goals. Jamaica has made many advances in health care and continues to play a significant role in advancing the health agenda in the Caribbean. Despite these advances however, the Ministry of Health continue to face challenges as it strives to build a healthcare system that delivers universal health to all. Some of these challenges include: new and emerging diseases such as Chikungunya and Zika, the increase in noncommunicable diseases and their related risk factors, and the impact of violence and injuries on the health of citizens of Jamaica. Jamaica’s commitment to health is demonstrated in its National Development Agenda - Vision 2030, where “A healthy and stable population” has been identified as the first outcome under the National Goal “Jamaicans are empowered to achieve their fullest potential.” This outcome is also supported by the Ministry of Health’s vision of “Healthy People, Healthy Environment.” This new 2017-2022 CCS supports these commitments and was developed using a participatory, results-based approach that involved national counterparts and stakeholders from across several sectors. It builds on previous achievements and is aligned with key global and regional development and health agendas including the PAHO Strategic Plan 2014-2019, ‘Championing Health: Sustainable Development and Equity’, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Universal Health, Health in All Polices, the Caribbean United Nations Multi-Country Sustainable Development Framework 2017-2021, and the Caribbean Cooperation in Health IV or V. PAHO/WHO seeks to implement this 2017-2022 CCS in partnership with the Ministry of Health. We hope to further deliver on our commitment to sustainable development, health equity and universal health in support of the health and well-being of the people of Jamaica".Item PAHO/WHO Eastern Caribbean Cooperation Strategy 2006-2009: PAHO/WHO Medium Term Cooperation Strategy for Barbados and Member Countries of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States(PAHO, 2005)[Executive Summary]. In 2002 the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the introduction of the Country Focus Initiative (CFI) using the country cooperation strategy (CCS) as the nationally agreed framework, to focus the work of WHO in the countries it serves. The CCS combines a realistic assessment of a country’s needs with subregional, regional, and global priorities. At the end of 2003, the Pan American Health Organization, Regional Office of the World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), approved an initiative for the development of a cooperation strategy for 10 countries in the eastern Caribbean namely: Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, St Kitts & Nevis, St Vincent & the Grenadines and the three United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs) of Anguilla, British Virgin Islands, and Montserrat. The multicountry Eastern Caribbean Cooperation Strategy (ECCS), as it is called, was developed through a consultative process involving representatives from the public sector and nongovernmental organizations from all the Eastern Caribbean countries including development partners serving this group of countries. The ECCS was formulated on the opportunities arising from the confluence of (a) the needs, interests and expectations of the countries, focusing on their health and development challenges; (b) PAHO/WHO’s policy framework; and (c) the work of development partners in health. The resulting draft strategy was presented to the above groups and its further development was facilitated by two sets of consultations with the Ministers of Health to get their agreement on the elements needed to enhance the country presence of the Organization. The ECCS will guide the PAHO/WHO technical cooperation programs designed to support the countries in meeting health and development challenges.
