SPBA16/5 - Non-State Actors in Official Relations with PAHO

At the 55th Directing Council, Member States of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) adopted the Framework of Engagement with Non-State Actors (FENSA) via Resolution CD55.R3 (2016). Through this resolution, the PAHO Member States specifically replaced the Principles Governing Relations between the Pan American Health Organization and Nongovernmental Organizations with FENSA. They also requested the Director of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau (the Bureau) to implement FENSA in a manner consistent with the constitutional legal framework of PAHO and to report annually to the Executive Committee through its Subcommittee on Program, Budget, and Administration.
