Donors making a difference: Transforming WHO
With 2024 coming to a close, and the WHO Investment Round gaining speed and support, WHO is looking at ways in which we have delivered on our far-reaching Transformation Agenda that launched with the arrival of Dr Tedros back in 2017.
WHO’s transformation was conceived in order to make a measurable difference in people’s health and to deliver the bold objectives of GPW13.Amongst the many initiatives we embarked on, WHO committed to doing more and better in:promoting science for health;improving accountability and transparency in our performance;professionalizing our supply chain;shaping the global conversation on public health with strong partnerships, building a lifelong learning platform, and;preparing tomorrow’s global health leaders.This end-of-2024 story presents a snapshot of how WHO advanced these commitments.Securing predictable financing so that WHO can deliver on Member States’ expectationThe Transformation Agenda challenged WHO to adopt a new resource mobilization approach to secure predictable financing.
Member States took this up, resulting in the ground-breaking approval to increase their assessed contributions to cover 50% of WHO’s base budget by 2030.
It also launched the first-ever WHO Investment Round in May 2024. This unleashed a series of global engagements and events, culminating at the end of 2024 with a major pledging event hosted by Brazil around the G20 Leaders’ Summit.The Investment Round is the implementation of one of the key recommendations of the Member State-led WHO Working Group on Sustainable Financing.
