In May 2022, WHO and partners published the Roadmap: National workforce capacity to implement the essential public health functions including a focus on emergency preparedness and response: roadmap for aligning WHO and partner contributions.
The Roadmap was oriented towards three interlinked priority action areas: defining the EPHFs and their sub-functions, strengthening competency based education of the public health workforce, and mapping and measurement of the public health workforce. The Roadmap Action Plan (2022-2024) focuses on the immediate activities and deliverables anticipated in the first 2-year period of the Roadmap.
The overarching goal of the Technical Advisory Group on Knowledge translationand dissemination towards the Roadmap for Strengthening the Public Health and Emergency Workforce is to advise WHO on developing and disseminating the necessary language, tools and materials that crystallize the objectives, key concepts and building blocks of the Roadmap and on creating and implementing strategies to earn the leadership buy-in, partner engagement and financial support that result in the Roadmap being reflected in treaties, high-level meetings and declarations.
