ObjectivesFund scope and results framework

Fund scope
Established by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the World Health Organization (WHO), the Health System Modernization Joint Programme in Belarus strengthens the national health system with regards to primary health care and decreasing the burden of non-communicable diseases. Initiatives are geared towards obtaining international accreditation for Belarusian laboratories that test medical products, non-communicable disease prevention, the promotion of healthy lifestyles, and modernizing the health care system.

Strengthening national health systems and non-communicable disease responses are grouped into the following areas: 

• Addressing the major risk factors of alcohol and cigarette use, along with poor diet and low levels of physical activity.
• Improving screening programs for cancer.
• Reducing injury prevalence among children and adolescents. 
• Improving child and maternal health.

Technical assistance is provided to the Ministry of Health in line with the national strategy for the sustainable socio-economic development of the Republic of Belarus until 2030, and the national plan to combat non-communicable diseases between 2015 and 2020. 

Strategic and results framework
To combat the spread of non-communicable diseases and effectively manage child, mother, and adolescent health issues joint programme stakeholders work closely together to increase the effectiveness of government and local authorities in reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases. Involving community members in the development and promotion of local initiatives that contribute to better health is a primary aspect of the programme—providing stakeholders with an additional tool to improve public health and the quality of health services.

Integrated approaches are implemented by an extensive network of partners at the regional and local levels, which allows for the active involvement of NGOs, local community health staff, and local authorities. Along with data collection and analysis, programme activities include establishing a national coordination mechanism on non-communicable diseases and optimizing medical services for prevention, early detection and effective treatment.
