Washington, DC, September 5, 2024 (PAHO) — Over 150 stakeholders, representing more than 100 institutions, attended the first information session for the development of the next PAHO Strategic Plan.
The participation of a broad variety of stakeholders is an important component of PAHO's approach to strategic planning, recognizing the value, perspectives, and contributions of PAHO's many stakeholders to achieving the results set out in the Strategic Plan.
Participants welcomed the participatory process and the opportunity to engage with PAHO in this new way and sought more information on how they can collaborate and contribute through the development process and during the Plan's implementation.
In addition to feedback on specific elements of the proposal presented by the Secretariat, the importance of cooperation among countries, such as south-south and triangular cooperation, for the successful achievement of results was stressed. Participants also welcomed PAHO’s approach to build on the results of the external evaluation of results-based management.
The development process will culminate with the presentation of the final draft at the 62nd PAHO Directing Council in September 2025, as outlined in the roadmap presented to the 61st PAHO Directing Council in September 2024 (CD61/INF/1).
