Abstract

Robust pandemic preparedness and response is an urgent need necessary to address vulnerability and to prevent, detect and respond to an outbreak in FCV situations. It contributes to universal health security, protecting all people from threats to their health, and should be integrated in broader efforts to strengthen health systems and make them more resilient through multisakeholder coordination.

Poverty and Shared Prosperity 2018 : Piecing Together the Poverty Puzzle

World Bank (2018-10-17)

The World Bank Group has two overarching goals: End extreme poverty by 2030 and promote shared prosperity by boosting the incomes of the bottom 40 percent of the population in each economy. As this year’s Poverty and Shared Prosperity report documents, the world continues to make progress toward these goals. In 2015, approximately one-tenth of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty, and the incomes of the bottom 40 percent rose in 77 percent of economies studied. But success cannot be taken for granted. Poverty remains high in Sub- Saharan Africa, as well as in fragile and conflict-affected states. At the same time, most of the world’s poor now live in middle-income countries, which tend to have higher national poverty lines. This year’s report tracks poverty comparisons at two higher poverty thresholds—$3.20 and $5.50 per day—which are typical of standards in lower- and upper-middle-income countries. In addition, the report introduces a societal poverty line based on each economy’s median income or consumption. Poverty and Shared Prosperity 2018: Piecing Together ...

Fairness and Accountability : Engaging in Health Systems in the Middle East and North Africa

World Bank (2013)

The World Bank Health Nutrition and Population Sector Strategy for MENA (2013-2018). The new Health, Nutrition, and Population (HNP) Strategy for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is a very timely initiative in light of the transformative socio-political changes in the region, and of the World Bank Group's renewed commitment to ending poverty and reducing inequality. To protect, promote, and preserve the health of its people, health systems in the region must aspire to become more fair and accountable. The MENA HNP strategy is envisioned as a dynamic 'living' strategy, rather than as a static document, providing a compass for prioritization of World Bank engagements in line with regional and client country needs. Its implementation spans three phases. Phase one will involve an intensive engagement process aimed at listening to client needs and clarifying the issues and options towards building and maintaining fairer and more accountable health systems. Phase two entails development of country specific engagement plans in each country. Phase three consists of actual ...
