GHI Overviews and Case Studies
These documents provide WHO staff and partners with a summary of the strategic goals and purpose, operations, and core processes of selected Global Health Initiatives (GHIs), and how a Primary Health Care (PHC) approach can optimize the support provided by those GHIs. It includes information on how to apply PHC principles, particularly those in the PHC Operational Framework, to inform WHO staff working with countries to optimally use the opportunity of GHI and other donor funding to advance a PHC approach to attaining Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The document was developed in collaboration with WHO staff at all three levels of the organization (headquarters, regional level and country office level), as well as the secretariats of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund), Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and The Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents (GFF). Additional inputs were received from a diverse range of global, regional and national experts.
The principal target audiences for these documents include WHO country and regional office staff who are working on GHI and related donor funding requests; GHI staff supporting countries to implement or reprogrammed donor support; Ministry of Health counterparts, such as those from Planning, Budgeting, Health Systems and various disease- or programme-specific and external consultants who support any aspect of GHI funding. This reference will be of use to both those familiar with GHIs who wish to learn more about PHC approaches, as well as PHC and health systems strengthening (HSS) experts who are increasingly called to help inform development and implementation of GHI support at the regional and country level.
