WHO Country cooperation strategy(CCS)

The WHO Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) is a medium-term vision for its technical cooperation with a given Member State, in support of the country's National Health Policy, Strategy or Plan. It is the WHO's key instrument to guide its work in countries and the main instrument for harmonizing WHO cooperation in countries with that of other UN Agencies and development partners. The CCS time frame is flexible to align with national cycles and processes.
