- Thirteenth General Programme of Work
The Thirteenth General Programme of Work (GPW 13) defines WHO’s strategy for the five-year period, 2019-2023. It focuses on triple billion targets to achieve measurable impacts on people’s health at the country level.
The triple billion targets are to ensure by 2023:
- One billion more people are benefiting from universal health coverage
- One billion more people are better protected from health emergencies
- One billion more people are enjoying better health and well-being
Measurable impact is at the heart of WHO’s mission to transform the future of public health. See how progress is calculated towards achieving GPW 13.

WHO Results framework
The Results framework tracks the joint efforts of the Secretariat, Member States and partners to measure progress towards GPW13 targets and the Secretariat’s contribution. The measurement of the Results Framework has three integrated components:
WHO impact measurement
The Impact measurement is based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and measures progress via 46 outcome indicators, triple billion indices and healthy life expectancy.
Country case studies
The country case studies paint a qualitative picture and provide human face to the data from the impact measurement and output scorecard.
Output scorecard
The output scorecard assesses WHO’s contribution to outcomes and impact across six dimensions of technical support, leadership and normative work.
Introducing the methods for impact measurement
A key pillar of the World Health Organization’s transformation agenda
was to make it a modern data-driven organization and to have a
measurable impact on the lives of people we serve. WHO’s Global
Programme of Work 13 has impact measurement at its centre with specific
indicators based on the health related Sustainable Development Goals to
track progress. This video is an introduction to the methods used to
measure these indicators with clear baselines and targets globally and
for every country.
