Technical Cooperation Strategy for PAHO/WHO and the Federative Republic of Brazil, 2008-2012

There is clear synergy between PAHO/WHO activities in Brazil and the priorities of the Brazilian Government and society, as expressed in the 2008 – 2011 Health Plan and the 2007 Health Pact. Such synergy is also evident between the priorities defined at the global level by the World Health Assembly in the WHO´s XI General Program of Work for 2008 – 2015, at the regional level in the Health Agenda for the Americas 2008 – 2017 recently approved by countries of the Americas, as well as in the PAHO Strategic Plan 2008 – 2012 and the Millennium Development Goals.

Within this context, PAHO/WHO has worked intensively on the elaboration and definition of the strategy for technical cooperation with Brazil during 2008 – 2012.
