Description

Our goal is to build a better, healthier future for people all over the world. Working through offices in more than 150 countries, WHO staff work side by side with governments and other partners to ensure the highest attainable level of health for all people. Together we strive to combat diseases – infectious diseases like influenza and HIV and noncommunicable ones like cancer and heart disease. We help mothers and children survive and thrive so they can look forward to a healthy old age. We ensure the safety of the air people breathe, the food they eat, the water they drink – and the medicines and vaccines they need.

Data Quality

Organisation and Activity descriptions are extracted directly out of WHO's ERP and reflect what is published in our biennial programme budget. A process is in place to ensure completeness of results data and improvements in the accuracy of activity descriptions and coding. Financial information provided will always be provisional. Verified, audited financial data will be provided through our financial reports.

WHO has launched a new Programme Budget Web portal, displaying our financial data across our results structure with details on budget, financing and expenditures upto the output level. The portal is hosting also our IATI XML Files.
