Design and implementation of a Primary Health Care (PHC) Toolbox for improving the impact of support from Global Development Partners

Primary Health Care (PHC) is the most equitable and cost-effective way to enhance the health of populations and improve health security and is a requirement for achieving universal health coverage (UHC). Vital to advancing the PHC agenda is effective global health partnerships, particularly with Global Health Initiatives (GHIs) which provide financial support for improving population health. Despite progress, GHI support at times remained parallel to rather than embedded in national health strategies. To improve the impact of GHI support, World Health Organization (WHO) member states requested specific guidance to better align GHI support to national health strategies and PHC principles. We present the PHC-GHI Toolbox as a comprehensive set of resources for use by countries to apply the PHC approach.
