The Division of Country Support and Partnerships (CPA) supports the development and delivery of WHO's strategic engagement with all Member States, including those without country offices. It aims to maximize WHO's impact in countries by helping them realize their health and development ambitions and strategies in line with the WHO European Programme of Work and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Each country is different, and WHO’s collaboration is tailored to meet their diverse needs. Since September 2022, WHO/Europe's work with and in countries has been guided by the country collaboration strategy (EUR/RC72/14) adopted by Member States at the 72nd session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe.

The CPA Division:

• gathers, analyses and shares country-relevant insights and information;
• develops, tracks and adapts strategic country engagement plans;
• supports programme implementation in countries;
• facilitates effective collaboration with countries, partners and networks;
• nurtures youth engagement and participation in health policy-making;
• organizes the Pan-European Leadership Academy; and
• coordinates efforts to manage and respond to the health needs of refugees and migrants, with a focus on access to health services.
