The United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the World Health Organization’s Special Program for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (WHO/TDR), and PATH are implementing a five-year project (2013-2018) entitled “Building Capacity for Access and Delivery of New Global Health Technologies for Tuberculosis (TB), Malaria, Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), and other Diseases in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs).” The project’s objective is to strengthen the capacity of health systems in low and middle income countries (LMICs) so as to improve access to and delivery of new health technologies, and is based on the recognition of the need to build the capacity for informed decision-making about which new health technologies are most appropriate to introduce into a given country and to strengthen national systems to ensure that these new technologies can efficiently and effectively reach those who need them. The Program on Global Health and Human Rights conducted a mid-term review to assess progress towards the achievement of the project objectives, including early signs of successes and challenges, as well as a review of the project’s strategy and potential sustainability.
More information can be found on this project through the Access and Delivery Partnership (ADP) project page.
