As part of the High-level Meeting (HLM) on Universal Health Coverage (UHC) follow-up, the CSEM is pleased to share advocacy tools related to the outcomes of the 2023 Political Declaration on UHC. We hope you find them useful in your efforts to drive the implementation of the HLM commitments in your countries and hold governments accountable.

You can find below:

1) A comprehensive analysis of the 2023 Political Declaration on UHC in comparison with the Action Agenda from the UHC movement and the 2019 declaration. This table is intended to support advocates to rapidly identify strengths and weaknesses of the 2023 PD on UHC. It serves as a reference tool for advocates in their engagement with governments to drive the implementation of the HLM commitments.

2) A civil society briefing note that provides a high-level summary of the detailed analysis of the 2023 Political Declaration on UHC and contains additional advocacy resources.

In addition, you can also find here a cross-analysis of the 3 Political Declarations on UHC, TB and PPPR developed by the Global Health Council.

Let’s keep the momentum going to ensure the world’s leaders deliver on their commitments to advance health for all!
