Dear civil society colleagues,
We have the pleasure of inviting you to a virtual dialogue with WHO to seek your feedback on the proposal for Strengthening the Global Architecture for Health Emergency Preparedness, Response and Resilience (HEPR) on Monday 9 May 2022 at 13:30-15:30 CEST (Amsterdam, Geneva, Paris). Please share this invitation with your civil society networks.
At the 150th meeting of the WHO Executive Board in January, the Director-General committed to develop proposals, in consultation with Member States, on Strengthening the Global Architecture for Health Emergency Preparedness, Response and Resilience, and present these to the Seventy-fifth Health Assembly. A draft of the Director-General’s proposals for strengthening HEPR has now been published for an informal consultation with Member States and other stakeholders. You will find the proposal attached for your perusal.
For your information, the Secretariat had also developed a concept note that provides an overview of the consultation process with Member States and other key stakeholders and of the outline of the Director-General Report to the WHA, with reference to principles and priorities of a strengthened architecture for HEPR, furthermore to the framework of systems, financing and governance as key building blocks of the HEPR architecture
During the dialogue, WHO will brief the civil society participants on the content of the Director-General’s proposal, followed by a discussion among participants.
The event can be accessed as a Zoom webinar:
