Strategic coordination
Under the leadership of Dr Jamshed Tanoli, the WHO Health Emergency Programme (WHE) successfully conducted a two-day consultative workshop with the participation of the WHE workforce from Kabul and all regional offices. The workshop aimed to review the 2025 Plan of Action and assess the programme’s overall performance.
Key achievements included:
a. Strategic Analysis and Planning where each unit within the programme, namely, Leadership and Coordination, Technical Expertise and Health Operations, Partner Coordination and Engagement, Health Information and Epidemiology, Operational Support and Logistics, and Finance and Administration conducted a thorough SWOT analysis of their respective functions. Based on these analyses, units presented their detailed action plans for 2025, ensuring a strategic and targeted approach to achieving programme goals.
b. Submissions from all units were systematically reviewed and summarized in reference to the Performance Standards for Critical Functions of Emergency in the Incident Management System (IMS). This ensured that all plans conformed to organizational expectations and global standards for emergency response and preparedness.
Therefore, the fruits of the workshop are expected to manifest in the programme’s strengthened commitment to strategic planning, enhanced interunit collaboration, and improved performance alignment, thereby reinforcing its readiness capacity to effectively address health emergencies in 2025 and beyond.
