The UN High-level Meeting on UHC is a major opportunity to mobilize the highest political support for UHC as the cornerstone for achieving SDG3 and delivering successful outcomes for other health-related initiatives, as well as setting UHC milestones by 2023, as a mid-point for the 2030 goals. The Climate Action Summit, SDG Summit and the High-Level Dialogue on Financing for Development provide further opportunities for mutually reinforcing action for UHC. To deliver highest-level political commitments on health this September, it is critical to identify concrete follow up actions across the political declarations and seize upcoming opportunities until 2023 for tracking progress of key commitments to achieve UHC.

Objectives:

  • Initiated a discussion on how to operationalize follow up actions of the health related elements of political declarations of the UN HLMs in 2019.
  • Identified options for tracking progress of key commitments through formal follow up mechanisms of the Sustainable Development Goals.
  • Promoted investment in health and participatory multi-stakeholder platforms to strengthen social accountability.
