WHO’s Strategic Operational Plan for the Eastern Mediterranean Region, 2025–2028 adapts the Organization’s 14th Global Programme of Work (GPW 14) to the regional context. It was prepared through a broad consultative process involving Member States, UN agencies, international health and development agencies, academia, donors and nongovernmental organizations, and builds on strengths and lessons learned from a regional review of progress made in the last five years.

The plan is based on priorities identified by Member States of the Region. There is a strong focus on increasing investment in health and leaving no one behind, while clear actions and monitoring mechanisms are specified for both WHO and Member States to ensure strong mutual accountability.
