Summary of UHPR Technical Advisory Group Meeting Report #2

Background

The World Health Organization (WHO), in collaboration with member states, established the Universal Health and Preparedness Review (UHPR) Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to guide the technical foundation of the UHPR. This group, comprising 21 technical experts, held its inaugural meeting on October 28-29, 2021, focusing on validating the process and sharing initial recommendations.

Agenda Highlights

The two-day meeting covered key sessions including opening remarks, feedback and Q&A from three TAG subgroups (Governance and Process, Technical Indicators and Metrics, Interaction with Other Mechanisms), an update on the UHPR Secretariat, discussion on next steps, and final remarks.

Key Points from Subgroups

• Subgroup 1 (Governance and Process): Provided feedback on lessons learned from previous reviews, emphasizing recommendations that avoid duplication of existing tools, are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound), and address financial support through a technical fund similar to UPR. Suggestions included regional data collection and clearer processes for country acceptance post-review.

• Subgroup 2 (Technical Indicators and Metrics): Discussed initial recommendations for health equity indicators, prioritizing simplicity and context-specific tailoring. Key themes included capturing cross-country disparities, ensuring data capacity strengthening, avoiding overly complex metrics, and integrating community trust indicators for better response adaptability.

• Subgroup 3 (Interaction with Other Mechanisms): Offered initial recommendations on multisectoral government engagement for implementation, highlighting the need for inclusive monitoring tools that cover diverse emergencies like infectious diseases and chemical radiations. Debated topics included mandatory vs. voluntary participation, high-level buy-in, and institutionalizing roles for sectors like military.

Update from UHPR Secretariat

The secretariat reported progress on the CAR pilot project, noting lessons learned are being documented for reference. It added that 23 countries have shown interest in UHPR, with planned missions for Q1 2022, and emphasized the importance of UHPR mock commissions for refinement.

Next Steps

Priorities include sharing outcomes of other working group discussions with TAG members for refined recommendations, adjusting documents for final review, consulting on pilot reviews, and convening the third TAG meeting within a month in discussion with co-chairs.
