Briefing on WHO’s 14th General Programme of Work

4 September 2023, 10:00–11:30 CEST

In May 2023 the Seventy-sixth World Health Assembly, having considered the report by the WHO Director-General on sustainable financing, requested the Director-General to develop the draft 14th General Programme of Work, 2025–2028 (GPW 14) in consultation with Member States, as the technical strategy to underpin the first WHO investment round in the last quarter of 2024.

The GPW 14 is to replace the 13th General Programme of Work, 2019–2025 (GPW 13) 1 year early. It will include a financing envelope and a strong results narrative, and will draw on lessons learned from the GPW 13. It will be considered for approval by the Seventy-seventh World Health Assembly in 2024. This side event will brief European Member States on the consultative process to develop the GPW 14.
