UNDP’s commitment to helping countries address major health challenges is based on the principles that health is both a driver and outcome of development and that actions across a wide range of development sectors have a significant impact on health outcomes. As a development agency, UNDP focuses on addressing the social, economic and environmental determinants of health, which are primarily responsible for health inequalities. UNDP’s work in health is undertaken by an integrated team operating at global, regional and country levels. The work falls within three inter-connected areas of action: — Reducing inequalities and social exclusion that drive poor health; — Promoting effective and inclusive governance for health; and — Building resilient and sustainable systems for health.
UNDP and partners – including other UN agencies and national governments – are collaborating to conduct national Investment Cases on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). The aim of these investment cases is to estimate the burden of NTDs and estimate the impact of scaled-up action. The investment cases can be used as an advocacy piece for policymakers, as well as for the Ministry of Health to present to non-health ministries.
