WHO's planned actions to support Member States focus on improving sustainable financing for health and strengthening governance capacity:

• Domestic resource mobilisation: a comprehensive programme of work to facilitate Member State efforts to mobilize more resources for health, exploring both traditional and non-traditional approaches, and to scale up mechanisms for financial risk protection, especially targeting the most vulnerable and the poorest.
• Increasing efficiency: supporting the identification of policy actions across the health system to improve the efficiency of resource use, including the use of priority setting approaches and addressing public finance management bottlenecks.
• Capacity and ownership of evidence: securing political commitment from governments to institutionalize and invest in evidence generation mechanisms, such as health expenditure tracking and financial protection monitoring, to improve accountability and transparency and monitor progress towards UHC.
• National planning capacity: building national capacities to leverage national planning and review processes to actualize the Lusaka Agenda and drive alignment of stakeholders around One Plan, One Budget and One M&E.
• Strengthening legal frameworks: supporting countries to strengthen the policy and legal environment through implementing required legal reforms to accelerate progress towards UHC.
• Subnational governance capacity: supporting Member States to enhance capacity at subnational level for health management, planning, leadership and financing of health services, thereby improving the functionality of subnational health systems.

WHO is also developing planned regional goods and initiatives: a regional strategy on the future of financing in the WHO African Region, targeted for RC76; a Regional Director's initiative on domestic resource mobilization, which will align with and derive from the strategy; and a framework to strengthen health system governance, targeted for RC77.
