Country cooperation strategy 2024-2028, The Gambia

Overview

The fourth generation Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) reflects the World Health Organization’s (WHO) medium-term strategy to guide its work in and with The Gambia. It is anchored on WHO’s General Programme of Work (GPW) framework, Gambia’s National Health Policy (2021–2030), and the National Health Sector Strategic Plan (NHSSP) 2021–2025 as a strategic vision for cooperation to strengthen The Gambia’s health sector. These policy documents were used to prioritize and maximize WHO’s contribution to achieving The Gambia’s health goals, and by extension the SDGs

Sustaining the progress achieved and addressing ongoing challenges in the health sector necessitates collaborative efforts from various stakeholders, including the Government, health development partners, and communities. As such, the identification and agreement on the following four priorities and their corresponding focus areas for the CCS 2023–2027 have been structured to align with this collaborative approach. These priorities are interlinked and mutually supportive; they aim to realize the vision of a healthier and more productive population.
