Who we are
The UHC Partnership is one of WHO’s largest platforms for international cooperation on UHC and primary health care. We enable health partners and donors to collaborate, coordinate, and align with government health reforms in over 110 countries.

We bring together diverse partners and donors around shared priorities to strengthen country leadership, improve the coherence of technical and financial support, and enable meaningful and lasting change in policies and institutions.

The UHC Partnership is supported and funded by Belgium, Canada, the European Union, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Japan, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and WHO.

How we work
The UHC Partnership's health policy advisers are embedded in countries and play a crucial role to connect national health priorities with WHO global evidence and guidance and to drive donor and partner coordination around one national health strategy or plan.

We also work hard to engage local and sub-regional funding mechanisms, enabling investments to be highly strategic and more likely to deliver results.

We provide strategic continuity over many years, ensuring reliable and steady sources of support, where other partners and donors provide finite projects and leave.

How we monitor progress
The UHC Partnership's Live Monitoring provides a structured accountability platform for reviewing implementation of work at country and regional levels.

WHO staff across Headquarters, Regional, and Country levels, and invited donors and partners meet to review progress and lessons learned, identify implementation bottlenecks and technical support needs, and hold structured dialogue.

Live Monitoring gives a voice to those who are driving impact in countries together with technical experts and donors, and is a tool for WHO to strengthen accountability and transparency at all levels.
