National Health Compacts

large
Lasting health progress doesn’t come from leadership and knowledge alone. It comes from a clear long-term plan. That’s why we support National Health Compacts: five-year, country-led agreements that bring funding and partners together around a shared reform agenda.

HOW COMPACTS MAKE HEALTH WORK

Each compact is shaped by country needs, but most focus on five key areas of reform.

Connecting & equipping health facilities

Balancing prevention & treatment

We help countries prevent disease, support maternal and child health, address malnutrition and mental health, and manage long-term conditions, not just respond to health emergencies.
Expanding & training the health workforce

We support the training and career growth of health workers, including community health workers, nurses, and doctors.
Increasing health financing

We help expand insurance and low-cost and free services so people can get care without high out-of-pocket costs.

Governments identify the most urgent health needs and set clear, long-term goals to improve care and reach more people. We support countries with data, financing, and technical expertise.
Partners align financing and support

Clear goals and shared data help track progress and make sure commitments lead to real results. We support countries in tracking results and strengthening transparency.
Long-term commitment sustains results
