Checklist and indicators for monitoring progress in the development of IHR core capacities in states parties, April 2013

Overview

This document proposes a framework and processes for States Parties to monitor the development of their core capacities at the national, intermediate and community/primary response levels, in accordance with the requirements for core capacity development in Annex 1 of the IHR (2005) and contributes to Article 54 of the IHR (2005), which calls on States Parties and WHO to report on the implementation of the IHR to the WHA. This monitoring framework provides:
20 global indicators for monitoring the development of IHR core capacities for reporting annually to the WHA by all States Parties; and
other indicators for monitoring the comprehensive development, strengthening, and maintenance of States Parties’ IHR core capacities. Countries are encouraged to report on all 28 indicators. This monitoring document is not legally binding. It does, however represent a consensus of technical expert views drawn globally from WHO Member States, technical institutions, partners, and from within WHO.
