ABOUT US

WHO CCs are key institutions with relevant expertise distributed throughout the world. They represent a valuable resource as an extended and integral arm of WHO’s capacity to implement its global work. The WHO CCs are a highly valued mechanism of cooperation in which selected institutions are recognized by the WHO to assist the Organization with implementing its mandated work. This is accomplished by supporting the achievement of planned strategic objectives at regional and global levels; enhancing the scientific validity of its global health work; and developing and strengthening institutional capacity in countries and regions. A WHO CC is designated as per the WHO Regulations for study and scientific groups, collaborating institutions and other mechanisms of collaboration[1]. The designation of a WHO CC both recognizes a history of collaboration with WHO and provides a formal framework for future joint activities. It is a time-limited agreement of collaboration (four years) between WHO and the designated institution, (UP) through which the latter agrees to implement a series of concrete activities specifically developed or designed with the WHO.
