Country cooperation strategy, Maldives: 2024–2029
CCS Maldives

Overview
The Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) is framed around the WHO General Programme of Work (GPW), specifically GPW 13 and GPW 14, and the WHO South-East Asia Regional Director’s priorities and addresses the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. At the same time, it is anchored in the national development priorities and the United Nations Sustainable Development Assistance Framework (UNSDCF) that has been formulated to support countries on the road to progress with the SDGs. The current CCS builds on the recommendations of the final review of the CCS in 2018–2022. It identifies a set of agreed joint priorities for WHO collaboration, covering those areas where WHO has a comparative advantage in order to ensure public health impact.
The strategic priorities for this CCS includes:
1. Addressing social, economic and commercial determinants of health
2. Investing in quality-assured primary health care
3. Addressing the unmet health needs of vulnerable groups
4. Strengthening health system performance
5. Building health system resilience towards emergencies and health threats.
