WHO's mandate includes raising awareness about global health issues and mobilizing support for action globally, regionally and nationally. One strategy in this effort is the observance of Global Health Days and Weeks (“the Days”, “the Weeks”), which serve as campaigns to highlight priority health concerns. WHO leads and supports these campaigns, some of which are mandated by the World Health Assembly or UN bodies, while others are initiated by non-state actors.
This evaluation served both accountability and learning purposes, supporting WHO’s responsibility to stakeholders, including Member States, the Executive Board and participants in WHO-led global health campaigns. The specific objectives were to assess WHO’s process for planning and managing the Days, evaluate their contribution to any visible changes from 2019 to 2024, and identify key lessons and recommendations for sustainable improvements in coordination, measurement, and learning.
