PRINCIPLES ON RELEVANT|EFFECTIVE SUPPORT TO MEDIA AND THE INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT
A well-functioning independent media system is critical to sustainable social and economic development, and a bulwark of peaceful, economically prosperous societies. Greater citizen engagement, stronger accountability and lower corruption are all attributable to the presence of professional news media. A vibrant news sector is also fundamental as the first line of defence against democratic backsliding and autocratisation, whose first step is often to undermine media freedom and financial viability. Credible news media provide sunlight on critical social, economic and political issues to ensure a well-informed civil society and accountability of industry and private interests
World Health Organization Fourteenth General Program of Work, 2025–2028
In 2023, the Seventy-sixth World Health Assembly, having considered the report by the Director-General on sustainable financing, requested the Director-General to develop the draft Fourteenth General Programme of Work, 2025–2028 (GPW 14) in consultation with the Member States, as the technical strategy to underpin the first WHO investment round in the last quarter of 2024. GPW 14 is to replace the Thirteenth General Programme of Work, 2019–2025 (GPW 13) one year early, include a financing envelope and strong results narrative, and draw on lessons learned from GPW 13. GPW 14 will be considered for approval by the Seventy-seventh World Health Assembly in 2024, through the Programme, Budget and Administration Committee of the Executive Board at its thirty-ninth meeting and by the Executive Board at its 154th session.
