IOAC Special report to the Director-General of World Health Organization

Overview

The Committee wishes to commend the Director-General and his senior management for the efforts already undertaken, through the Transformation Agenda and by other means, to improve the wellbeing and satisfaction of the Organization’s staff at headquarters and in the regions and to seek ways of driving diversity and inclusiveness in WHO. Those efforts should continue and be reinforced.

The Committee acknowledges that its mandate is to act as an independent oversight and advisory service to the WHO Health Emergencies Programme, but notes that the Programme is an integral part of the Organization, and as such cannot be considered in isolation. It therefore wishes to stress that all recommendations made with regard to the WHO Health Emergencies Programme, divided under the three categories above, are equally applicable to WHO itself.
