European Union-Luxembourg-WHO universal health coverage partnership (2017): Management response

An external evaluation of the EU-Luxembourg-WHO Universal Health Coverage Partnership 2011-2016 was conducted to assess its results and achievements and its contribution in strengthening WHO’s capacity to support ministries of health in the 20 countries covered by the Partnership. Specifically, the evaluation assessed how the Partnership succeeded in: (i) supporting the development and implementation of robust national health policies, strategies and plans to increase coverage with essential health services, financial risk protection and health equity; (ii) improving technical and institutional capacities, knowledge and information for health systems and services adaptation and related policy dialogue, mainly at country level; and (iii) ensuring that international and national stakeholders are increasingly aligned around national health policies, strategies and plans, and adhere to other aid effectiveness principles.
