KEY 05 - The SDG3 Global Action Plan for Health and Wellbeing

The ultimate success of the SDGs will be measured by their impact on the prosperity and well-being of people and the planet, particularly the extent to which the SDGs leave no one behind’. Initiatives such as the SDG3 Global Action Plan for health and well-being endeavor to build a foundation of greater cohesion among global health actors in support of countries’ achievement of the health-related SDGs. But accelerating the pace of progress will require increased government cooperation at country level as well as enhanced stakeholder engagement across sectors - at global, regional, national and sub-national levels.

The initial commitment to develop a Global Action Plan was launched at the World Health Summit 2018, the Plan itself was launched during UNGA 2019 - the actors involved in the action plan will report on its progress and the implementation challenges at hand. They will focus in particular on the seven accelerators that have been identified.
