human rights and disability, value for money, and achieving results in
ways leading to impact (whenever data is available). The dimension score (shown

SCORING SCALE
BUDGET FINANCING AND IMPLEMENTATION
Overview
One of the main strategic shifts of the Thirteenth General Programme of Work focused on driving public health impact in every country. For the programme budget 2020-2021, strengthening the capacity of WHO to deliver in countries, was one of the major areas for increased investment. This infusion of resources allowed country and regional offices to strengthen technical expertise in key areas to provide increased support and technical advice for countries.
This commitment was articulated through priority-setting at country level. As a result, the outcomes classified as high priority were allocated 87% of the total budget and received 86% of the total available funding. At a more granular level, 50% of these priority outcomes reached over 75% financing, which evidences the long-standing challenge of chronically underfunded priorities.
Throughout the biennium, 57% of the total financing available was allocated to country level. Country offices received US$ 1.1 billion (32%) more financing in 2020-2021 than in 2018-2019 across all budget segments. 58% of the total implementation took place at country level.
