WHO Tanzania Investment Case for 2020-21
Despite the significant strides made by the country in health, challenges do remain in addressing the double burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases and ensuring that people have access to health services without incurring financial hardship. The number of women who die from pregnancy-related deaths and children who die from preventable causes is still unacceptably high. The country is also facing threats from health emergencies and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance.
As a unique science and evidence-based organization that sets globally applicable norms and standards, WHO is relevant and vital in addressing these current complex public health challenges. This investment case sets out the strategic direction for the WHO Country Office for the next two years and serves as the basis for resource mobilization. It is structured around three interconnected pillars to ensure healthy lives and wellbeing for all at all ages, reaching everyone everywhere, putting mothers and children first and protecting people every day.
The return on investment from implementing this plan is envisaged to contribute to the triple billion goal of the GPW 13 and ultimately the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which views health as vital for the future of our world.
