Item PAHO/WHO Country Cooperation: Jamaica 2010 -2015(PAHO, 2010)[Executive Summary]. Jamaica, the largest English speaking Caribbean Island, is currently undergoing transitional changes in epidemiology, demography and economy. The country has experienced a decreasing trend in mortality and fertility rates and the pressure of the Global Financial Crisis as reflected by its negotiation with the International Monetary Fund for a Stand-by Agreement. In 2008, the Government took the decision to remove user fees in the Health Sector, resulting in a significant increase in the demand for health services. With the current economic climate, this presents challenges for sustainability of health services, particularly as all Government Ministries grapple with reductions in their fiscal budgets. The Ministry of Health is also undergoing a restructuring process focusing on improvements in quality of care, enhancing efficiency in health services delivery, and increasing access and accountability in the management of health services.Item PAHO/WHO Sub-regional Cooperation Strategy: Caribbean 2010-2015(PAHO, 2010)[Foreword]. The PAHO/WHO Sub-regional Strategy is very timely as the Caribbean is poised in undertaking significant changes in shaping its readiness and institutional capacity to respond to new global and regional public health challenges affecting its people. These challenges include the need to address the public health implications of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) with its free movement of people, food and agricultural products, and harmonization of laws and standards. In addition, the Caribbean is in the process of enhancing its capacity to respond in the changing public health environment with the establishment of the two new Public health entities in the Caribbean namely, the Caribbean Agricultural Health and Food Safety Agency (CAHFSA) and the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) which will rationalize the functions of the existing Regional Health Institutions...The PAHO/WHO Sub-regional Cooperation Strategy recognizes these significant public health changes in the Caribbean and clearly defines how PAHO/WHO will ensure that its technical cooperation is responsive and supportive to the Caribbean sub-region in this changing environment. The strategy defines the priorities with which PAHO will work including addressing the agenda of the CCH3 but also the Global and PAHO/WHO Strategic Agenda, the mechanisms of cooperation and the PAHO/WHO entities in charge of leading in the implementation at the sub-regional level over the period 2010 - 2015. The strategy defines the added value of the sub-regional cooperation with its guiding principles of Health equity, reduction in disparities and asymmetries among countries; capacity building and supporting national sub-regional challenges; addressing the determinants of health; optimizing resources and capacities, achieving complementarities; promoting solidarity; focus on economies of scale and shared services and promoting connectivity through e-health.Item PAHO/WHO Country Cooperation: Guyana 2016-2020(PAHO, 2016)The Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) is meant to be the strategic vision for the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) technical cooperation with the country. This is the third Country Cooperation Strategy between the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) and the Cooperative Republic of Guyana. The first covered the period 2003-2007 and the second, 2010-2015.Item PAHO/WHO Country Cooperation: Guyana 2023-2027(PAHO, 2023)The Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) for Guyana covering the period 2023 to 2027 provides the medium-term vision that will guide the implementation of Pan American Health Organization’s technical cooperation at the national level. The development of the CCS was based on a consultative and participatory process with strong commitment and support from the Ministry of Health. The strategic agenda of the CCS outlines five Strategic Priorities and associated Focus Areas where PAHO/WHO will focus its technical cooperation over the period 2023 to 2027. Each Focus Area is linked to the Strategic Priorities of the Guyana Health Vision 2030, the outcomes of the PAHO Strategic Plan 2020-2025, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the outcomes of the United Nations Multi-Country Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2022-2026.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.
