| Summary: | The KP aims to support the Bank in
adopting a significantly more systematic approach to
multisectoral action in countries to maximize investment in
other sectors for health results, in line with its
comparative advantage. It will help to meet the Bank s twin
goals and add value to its work in countries, by providing
task teams with data on the burden of disease and risks and
their upstream determinants, which multisectoral action
could address, toward the goal of reducing poverty. It will
assist in demonstrating the links between upstream
determinants, such as poverty and inequality, and health
outcomes. KP will identify proven and cost-effective
multisectoral solutions from international best practice
that have the potential for transferability to local
contexts. It will then help understand the drivers,
opportunities and constraints of work across practices and
sectors on a common agenda to meet the Bank s goals.
Finally, contributing to the effective delivery of existing
Bank work across sectors within countries, and provide
foresight and priorities for future action. |
