Development of a Global Action Plan on the prevention and management of anaemia by December 2022
Description
A Technical Advisory Group (TAG) will be formed of relevant WHO staff and key external partners to agree on the process for developing the action plan, its scope, and for advice on all stages of its development. Situation analyses will be conducted to inform critical areas for which the action plan will cover and working groups formed for the development of a GAP framework. Regional meetings will be held to present and gather feedback on the framework prior to its finalization. A model roadmap will then be developed for adaptation to local country contexts.
Overarching commitment (for commitments submitted pre-2025)
Title
Accelerating efforts to address anaemia
Description
We commit to developing a Global Action Plan (GAP) to prevent and manage anaemia in women and children. The plan will seek to improve efforts in reducing both the prevalence and severity of anaemia, and to advance the Global Nutrition Targets - notably to reduce anaemia in women of reproductive age by 50% by 2030.
We also commit to establishing, within the next 6 months, an Alliance for Anaemia Actions to advocate for an acceleration of anaemia actions and support the implementation of the GAP.
The Alliance will initially be convened by WHO and UNICEF to support country leadership. This Alliance will have a clear governance structure and principles of engagement, and it will be inclusive of a broad selection of actors from multiple sectors representing governments, UN organizations, civil society, academia, and relevant private sector entities.
Building on the strengths of each, the Alliance will contribute to measurable deliverables, including leveraging support for country action plans, fostering the development of a global integrated research agenda, and mobilizing global and domestic investments to reduce anaemia in women and children.
