Training on Executing National Health Security Action Plans
Course Overview
National Health Security Action Plans (NAPHS) are the primary instruments through which countries operationalize commitments under the World Health Organization International Health Regulations (IHR 2005). While many countries have developed NAPHS following Joint External Evaluations (JEE), implementation remains uneven due to coordination challenges, financing gaps, and weak accountability systems.
This course focuses on the execution phase of NAPHS translating strategy into measurable results. Participants gain practical skills to operationalize plans, align stakeholders across sectors, mobilize sustainable financing, and establish performance monitoring systems.
The training emphasizes multisectoral coordination across health, agriculture, environment, and security sectors, while integrating results-based management, risk-informed planning, and adaptive implementation approaches.
Through applied exercises and real-world case studies, participants will learn how to overcome execution bottlenecks and accelerate progress toward resilient national health systems and global health security compliance.
