Programmes and projects

WHO's work with the Government of the Philippines from 2011 to 2016 is defined by the Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS), jointly developed by WHO and the Philippines' Department of Health. It contains the vision and priorities for WHO to support the Philippine Government in achieving universal health care goals of better health outcomes, sustained health financing and a responsive health system. Furthermore, the CCS harmonizes its priority areas with the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2012-2018, "Delivering as One", providing the health dimension not only for basic social service outcomes but for all UNDAF outcomes.
