Purpose of the consultation

Background and rationale
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, more effective rules, better implementation, and more robust oversight of national, regional, and international responses are needed to support global preparedness. Therefore, global health governance and member state accountability must undergo a paradigm shift.
The UHPR is a game-changing platform to promote regular intergovernmental dialogue among Member States. The UHPR will strengthen country capacity for health emergency preparedness by engaging national leadership at the highest level, catalyzing pragmatic and specific actions based on the best available information, which will result in sustained attention and funding for preparedness. The Republic of Congo is committed to the implementation of the UHPR.

At the national level, the UHPR review has the effect of:
• Elevate health security matters to the highest level of government,
• Prioritize actions and areas that require urgent attention on an ongoing basis,
• Establish and maintain multi-sectoral dialogue and engagement,
• Promote reliable and sustainable domestic financing,
• Advance partner contributions by leveraging the findings of the UHPR report and the recommendations of the Global Peer Review Committee report.

At the global level, the UHPR will:
• Promote dialogue between countries on emergency preparedness,
• Identify areas for exchange of experience and good practice among WHO member states, as well as sharing of solutions and innovations,
