Introduction

The Programme budget 2024–2025 continues to use the integrated results framework of the Thirteenth General Programme of Work, 2019–2023 (GPW 13), which has been extended to 2025. The outputs of the Secretariat’s various areas of work come together to build synergies in achieving the outcomes and accelerating progress towards achieving the triple billion targets. This results framework reflects the interconnected nature for the triple billion targets envisaged by GPW 13 and reinforced by the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic. The full results framework, including a list of all outcomes and their related outputs, can be downloaded here. Outcome specific-content can be explored in the outcomes section.

Output narrative

When I penned the Foreword to last year’s WHO Results Report, 4 million cases of COVID-19 had been reported to WHO, and some 300 000 people had lost their lives. A year later, the number of cases has ballooned more than 40-fold, to almost 160 million, and the number of deaths has increased 11 times, to more than 3.3 million.
