Theory of Change 

The Theory of Change model demonstrates how the IHR Project's activities and outputs contribute to desired outcomes and bring longer-term, sustainable impact.

The project is premised on working in partnership to support countries to improve compliance with the IHR through contributing to the development of strong national public health systems capable of preventing, preparing for, detecting, and responding to a wide range of public health threats. An efficient and coordinated public health system is essential to retain and continually develop a skilled public health workforce and inspirational public health system.

We are also developing a principles of working framework which will outline the principles, processes and ways of working that we hold ourselves to.
