NAPHS for all: a 3 step strategic framework for national action plan for health security

Overview

The NAPHS framework is a flexible, three-step approach to help countries plan and implement priority actions to attain health security. It builds on and refers to all existing policies, agreements, strategies and frameworks at the national, regional and global levels and is designed to be used by countries to facilitate multisectoral planning. The framework emphasizes the importance of alignment and integration with the country’s national health strategic plan as well as other relevant national sectoral plans in the development and implementation of NAPHS. Countries have the prerogative to select and choose the steps/actions/components of the framework for the development and implementation of NAPHS based on their context.
