Multilateral engagement in the health sector
Health is one of the priority sectors of Luxembourg cooperation and, alongside important bilateral programmes, a large part of health funding is implemented through multilateral partners, i.e. WHO, UNAIDS, the Global Fund, GAVI, UNFPA and UNICEF. In 2013, Luxembourg’s development cooperation conducted a review of its engagements and activities in the health sector,produced which resulted in a new sector-based Global Health Strategy, published in the spring of 2014. The strategy identifies universal health coverage as the overarching objective and sets three strategic goals, namely strengthening health systems , the women and children’s health and combating communicable diseases. This clear definition of priorities in the health sector is making engagement with the multilateral partners more efficient.
