Country cooperation strategy for WHO and Pakistan 2020–2025
CCS Pakistan
Overview
The Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) reflects the medium-term vision of WHO for
technical cooperation with Pakistan and defines a strategic framework for working in and
with the country. The CCS aims to bring together the strength of WHO support at the three
levels of the Organization in a coherent manner.
This CCS for Pakistan is the result of an analysis of the health and development situation and
WHO’s current programme of activities. It was carried out by a CCS working group
representing the Ministry of National Health Services Regulations and Coordination,
provincial/area departments of health and WHO and was led by the WHO Representative in
Pakistan. The 12th national five-year plan (2018-2023) and the National health vision 2016-
2025 − medium-term strategic priorities mutually agreed with provinces and partners − were
the major guiding documents. Key officials of the Ministry, departments of health and
partners were consulted during the preparation of the CCS.
The CCS priorities include: 1. Achieving UHC. 2. Addressing health emergencies. 3. Promoting healthier populations. 4. More effective and efficient WHO, better supporting Pakistan.
