Sustainable financing of IHR implementation

Provision of an adequate and consistent level of domestic financing for the full implementation of the IHR (2005) will ensure long-term sustainability for the health emergency preparedness and response capacities of a State Party. All actions for health emergency preparedness, including national action plans if available, should be integrated into national budgets and planning cycles.

States Parties will:

  • a. ensure that activities for health emergency preparedness are included in national budgets and health system financing plans; and
  • b. mobilize additional resources, if necessary, to enable implementation of national action plans for public health emergency preparedness.

The Regional Office, in collaboration with key partners, will work with donors to mobilize additional resources when States Parties need external technical and financial support in costing and financing national action plans.
