Health Systems Flagship Program

This program offers a comprehensive suite of learning features designed to enhance countries’ capacities to strengthen their respective health systems, combining online, and in-person components strategically paced to blend technical capacity building, with forging participant networks to ultimately support country priorities and WBG Regional Health Strategies. More than just a training course, the program serves as a convening space for key multisectoral stakeholders in the health arena, both at a country level and at a regional level, to identify collective solutions, to address the most significant health system performance challenges, and to develop long-term strategies and reforms. This will not only generate tangible pointers for action, but it will be a unique opportunity for stakeholders to connect and collaborate, engage in open and effective policy dialogue, develop further technical skills, and turn a community of practice into a powerful system of influence.
