  4. WHO remains irreplaceable with its comparative advantages • Legitimacy from its universality of its structure and the moral standing--“health for all ”. • Only agency with the authority and unrivalled reputation in developing and implementing international health norms and standards. • Convening power for negotiated agreement on issues of public health importance.

Entering the new century, WHO has … • Successfully put the health at the center of development agenda. • Played a critical coordinating role in responding to SARS crisis, avian influenza outbreaks, and H1N1 pandemic. • Demonstrated its capacity of acting as convener for negotiations on important global health issues. • Taken steps to promote coherence such as IHP+.

  6. However, more changes are needed for WHO to restore the leadership in GHG • Be less operational and more strategic in the field of development. • Be Creative in exploring mechanism to engage non-state actors within the framework of Constitution. • Be proactive in exercising its normative power to enhance global health legal framework. • Be aggressive in mobilizing adequate resource to perform its core function.

  7. WHO’s leadership must be earned, but also be supported

  8. It must be supported by… • Other health related UN agencies • High level mechanism such as G8/G20 • Regional inter-governmental organizations such as EU • Its Member States

  9. EU is setting example in supporting WHO • The recent Foreign Affairs Council meeting adopted, among others: • Calls to EU Member States and Commission to support an increased leadership of the WHO in GH; • Request to Member States to gradually move away from earmarked funding toward funding WHO’s general budget • EU and its Member States will endeavour to speak with a strong and coherent voice at global level
