At the upcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September 2023, two health-related High-Level Meetings will be held focusing on UHC and Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response (PPR). This comes on the heels of the launch of the Pandemic Fund managed by the World Bank, a financing mechanism that was set up solely in support of PPR.
OBJECTIVES
1. Highlight the need for strong ACTA in health and call for coherent commitments from health and anti-corruption global communities ahead of the UNGA HLM on UHC and PPR.
2. Showcase how using a public health approach and effective governance can help address corruption in health.
3. Discuss the impact of corruption drivers and vulnerabilities, including during health emergencies, at different health system levels and highlight how they affect system efficiency.
4. Discuss lessons learned and identify particular areas in the health system where interventions can be applied and leveraged.
5. Bring in multistakeholder and multisectoral perspectives to showcase ACTA enforcement in the health and other sectors, and discuss how these can be sustained and integrated into broader health systems strengthening efforts.
