The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development proposes a bold new vision for global development, but it does not provide a specific roadmap on how to achieve it. Decisions about setting priorities, implementation, funding and all the actions that lie between the status quo and success rest in the hands of domestic decision-makers. This toolkit supports countries in adopting principles of sustainable development across health programmes and in building more comprehensive health systems. The tools support the development of health systems that are more equitable, more affordable, more measurable, more testable and more synergistic with health-related programmes beyond the traditional health system. The toolkit seeks to enable countries to seize new opportunities presented by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to deliver greater gains for health. Health systems in the Sustainable Development Goal era The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development introduced a more complete set of goals, built on common principles of social inclusion, shared prosperity and sustaining the planet’s natural systems (1). It envisions a new dynamic between the Sustainable Development Goals in which good health and the other 16 Goals are closely connected and interdependent. Progress towards one goal should contribute to the achievement of others. One way to apply this vision to health would be to expand the definition of the health system. Classically defined, health systems deliver essential health-care services and public health functions. A more comprehensive vision for health systems would consider non-traditional systems that also produce good health, incorporating relationships with agriculture, education, energy, the environment and other sectors represented by the other 16 Goals. Harnessing the full potential of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development requires building more comprehensive systems that can deliver better health. To better align the efforts of WHO programmes with this more comprehensive approach, WHO has proposed six main lines of action (2). The six main lines of action introduce a framework to focus action on building better, more connected systems for health enabled by the principles of sustainable development. World health statistics 2017: monitoring health for the SDGs (2) more thoroughly details the six main lines of action. The six main lines of action refer to six focus areas (Table 1). The first two lines focus efforts at the system level. Strengthening the health system and achieving universal health coverage builds a platform on which all other health targets can be pursued. It is also well established that factors beyond the health system, such as education, employment or environmental exposure, significantly influence health A WHO toolkit Working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals 2 over the life-course (9, 10). Building and institutionalizing synergy between health- related systems and the health system create a more comprehensive system for health that can integrate disease prevention, health promotion and health services to produce benefits across all of the health-related targets and beyond.

Monitoring and evaluation SCORE for health data technical package (8) The final four lines of action focus on factors enabling better systems for health. First, health systems must focus on becoming more equitable. Pursu- ing equitable access and use of health services and equitable health outcomes is essential to ensure that no one is left behind and to enable greater progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal targets. Second, health planners must focus on sustainable financing and ensuring that health services are affordable for all. Universal health coverage is among the main goals of the health agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals and is premised on financial protection in health along with equitable access and use. Third, the Sustainable Development Goals present an opportunity for countries to test the new vision for sustainable development and to chart their own course towards achieving the health targets. Countries need to mobilize domestic research and innova- tion to test the most effective ways to achieve their goals and produce technolo- gies across sectors that can respond to domestic health needs. Finally, progress in health must be measurable, and with the burden of measurement shifting to domestic sources, this requires strengthening health information systems and analytical capacity to monitor health and its determinants. The enabling factors proposed by the six main lines of action are among many key qualities of more comprehensive health systems. They do not comprise A WHO toolkit 3 an exhaustive list. More comprehensive systems should also be resilient, adapt- able and sustainable, among other qualities. Moreover, although they are organ- ized as discrete areas of work, the lines of action are also interdependent, as are the tools highlighted in this toolkit. For example, achieving greater health equity requires sustainable financing to reach vulnerable populations and to address the social and environmental determinants of health. It requires monitoring and research to identify populations being left behind and the most effective path- ways to improve equity. Using the toolkit This toolkit offers selected tools that support readers in aligning their work with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The toolkit is intended for use by all stakeholders working on the targets for health of the Sustainable Devel- opment Goals at the country level. It is intended for disease specialists, policy- makers, civil society, generalists and others. The goal in creating this toolkit is to enhance programmes and improve health across all sectors and disciplines. The toolkit supports the development of more broadly defined health systems to become more equitable, more affordable, more measurable, more testable and more synergistic with health-related programmes beyond the traditional health system. It highlights a selection of WHO tools that align with and enable work along the six main lines of action. Table 1 shows the six main lines of action and the proposed tools. The tools presented in this toolkit have been selected from a compendium of WHO and joint publications compiled from public WHO web resources (see Annexes 1–7). For each line of action, this toolkit highlights one tool. A tool can be defined as a means for accomplishing a task or purpose, and for the purposes of this toolkit, tools are intended to provoke new thinking and action to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. They provide entry points, and as such they are not meant to be comprehensive or exclusive. Instead, this toolkit should open new pathways along which various other tools need to be introduced. All stakeholders can use the toolkit and its tools to enhance their work on the Sustainable Development Goals. For each of the six lines of action, the toolkit outlines key areas for advancing the agenda for health of the Sustainable Devel- opment Goals. It then suggests how to use the selected tools to address these needs. For three lines of action, the toolkit and selected tools offer resources that can be readily used without additional assistance. The other three lines of action offer tools that are optimally used in a facilitated workshop or with technical assistance but that can also be used independently as information products. The toolkit is designed to function in coordination with other WHO resources developed to support Member States in their work related to the Sustainable Development Goals. For instance, it works alongside a course on the Sustainable Working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals 4 Development Goals developed by the WHO Country Coordination Unit and the United Nations System Staff College designed for WHO staff. The online course provides a primer on the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals and how Member States can benefit from working on the Sustainable Development Goals, and the toolkit promotes the tools to operationalize this vision and realize the benefits. It should also be viewed as a complementary resource to the strate- gies and resolutions adopted by WHO regional bodies. Action line 1. Intersectoral action by multiple stakeholders (see Annex 1) The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development envisions a more comprehensive approach to development. It proposes that harnessing the synergy between interconnected systems, rather than disjointed projects and programmes, will accelerate the gains that can accrue to health and all other aspects of development. Although ample evidence indicates the influences of social and environmental determinants on health outcomes along the life-course (9), the persistent challenge for health sector actors has long been developing programmes with other government agencies to leverage these connections and improve health outcomes. Health sector actors need to develop the skills and strategies necessary to make the most of this synergy by working across government sectors. Highlighted tool: Health in all policies: training manual Building synergy between health and health-related systems to accelerate gains in health and health equity is central to the vision for health of the Sustainable Development Goals. Nevertheless, despite a long history of proposing intersec- toral collaboration in health, it frequently remains one of the great untapped opportunities to advance health through upstream disease prevention and health promotion. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development does not give guid- ance on how this should be done either. The Health in all policies: training manual (3) proposes to empower country- level WHO staff members and health ministry leadership with the skills and strategic approaches needed to implement intersectoral and health in all policies initiatives. Intersectoral action takes different forms with many names. Health in all policies is a type of intersectoral work seeking to systematically integrate health concerns into the policies and processes of all other government sectors. This training, while specifically oriented towards health in all policies, offers con- cepts and skills that are necessary for any type of intersectoral work. These skills are broadly useful for advancing health in the Sustainable Development Goals. The skills and tools necessary to develop domestic intersectoral programmes also support intersectoral action at the international level through health diplo- macy. Issues affecting health ranging from climate change to medicines and food security are often negotiated in the international arena as well, and health A WHO toolkit 5 diplomacy is needed to ensure that health is given priority at the highest politi- cal levels (11). The manual is most effectively used in a workshop format with a skilled facilitator. The programme guides trainees through the process of identifying opportunities in which health in all policies might be effective and explains negotiation tactics and strategies to navigate these processes from beginning to end. Among the many strengths of the training is the potential for scalability and support. Attendees of one-off workshops often need ongoing support to put new skills into practice. The workshop can take a training-of-trainers approach, with the potential to build a network of in-country actors across civil society that can support government actors. The manual also has many companion resources, including numerous adaptations and similar training publications that can support customized training as well as case study resources, including the recent publication Progressing the Sustainable Development Goals through health in all policies: case studies from around the world (12). In the sustainable development era, health in all policies remains the ideal, but it needs to be supported by more evidence demonstrating the most effective pathways to improve health through multisectoral action. In this way, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is not only an agenda for action but also a research agenda. Research will help to define how government agencies should work together and which investments and programmes can produce the great- est benefits. Action line 2. Strengthening health systems for universal health coverage (see Annex 2) The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development changes the focus of the Millennium Development Goals era on selecting specific priorities in health in favour of a more comprehensive view of health and development. Progress across a much broader vision of health and health-related systems requires a well- functioning health system that can support affordable services across all areas of health. Strengthening the health system is imperative to achieving universal health coverage by ensuring that a full range of high-quality, people-centred essential services can reach everyone affordably. Highlighted tool: Healthy systems for universal health coverage – a joint vision for healthy lives Strengthening health systems involves a coordinated effort to improve access to high-quality health services, medicines and technologies, sustainable financ- ing and health system governance. Underpinning these main pillars of health system function is a mix of processes and resources including the health work- force, infrastructure, commodities, quality management, health information systems and accountability. WHO offers a range of analytical, diagnostic and Working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals 6 guidance tools to support countries in improving performance across all of these dimensions. WHO tools bring these aspects of strengthening health systems together into a coherent vision for coordinated improvement of performance and progress towards universal health coverage. Healthy systems for universal health coverage – a joint vision for healthy lives (4) is a publication by WHO and the World Bank for the UHC2030 platform. In fewer than 30 pages, it offers an important primer on the shared vision for strengthening systems as an instrument for achieving universal health coverage. It is divided into key policy considerations for health services, governance and financing with descriptions no longer than a paragraph each. It is a brief, help- ful overview that should give readers a sufficient grasp of the issues to engage effectively with more specific tools for planning, strategy or specific domains of strengthening health systems. Users looking for a more comprehensive explo- ration of planning and strategy for the health system should see Strategizing national health in the 21st century: a handbook (13). The health system is at the core of more comprehensive systems for health. This toolkit addresses equity, financing, health information systems and research, but these qualities are not meant to be an exclusive set. Strengthening health sys- tems to deliver on the health aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals also requires that they be resilient and sustainable among other qualities. The health workforce, infrastructure, medicines, technologies and governance are key com- ponents of the joint vision and any strengthening strategy. They are not covered in this toolkit but are strongly associated with the qualities of more comprehen- sive health systems. Action line 3. Respect for equity and human rights (see Annex 3) Emerging from the learned experience of implementing the Millennium Devel- opment Goals, there is a clear consensus that equitable development is not only a matter of social justice but that inequity has constrained progress across all domains of development (14). As a result, millions were left behind from the gains achieved in the Millennium Development Goals era, invisible in national averages that hide the unevenness of social progress. Closing the gaps in health outcomes within and between societies is therefore essential to achieving the health-related targets of the Sustainable Development Goals and to progressively realizing universal health coverage. Highlighted tool: Innov8 approach for reviewing national health programmes to leave no one behind: technical handbook The Innov8 approach for reviewing national health programmes to leave no one behind: technical handbook (Innov8) (5) evolved from the real experiences of government responses to health inequity. Health inequities arise from the societies in which people live – aspects of identity, policies, places and how people live their lives. They are systematic in nature and difficult to disentangle A WHO toolkit 7 and remove. Innov8 is a systematic response to a systematic problem. WHO has tools to identify health inequities and to train officials in the skills needed to work with actors beyond the health system to remediate them. Innov8 brings these tools into a systematic approach and institutionalizes the practice within governments to ensure that reducing health inequities remains an ongoing concern. In an eight-step process, the tool guides users through identifying health inequities in subpopulations, the barriers to health that underlie inequitable health outcomes and a process to address them. It responds with solutions to questions at the centre of health inequity: who is affected, why are they affected and how can this be fixed? The Innov8 approach works hand in hand with key WHO tools to address these questions. The Health Equity Assessment Toolkit (HEAT) (15, 16) is WHO’s flagship equity analysis tool. It is a software package that responds to the funda- mental question of who is affected. Users can load their own datasets to assess health inequalities at the national and subnational levels. It has the flexibility to work with population data and health programme or project data to quantitati- vely assess and then visualize inequalities between subpopulations. Innov8 also gives guidance on the use of qualitative data to uncover health inequalities. The Innov8 process enables users to assess why inequities exist. Innov8 guides users through identifying the contexts and reasons why certain people either do not access or do not benefit from health programmes. It also supports users in investigating inequities in health programmes associated with the social deter- minants of health. Identifying the underlying factors driving the existence of health inequities is essential to inform the solution. Innov8 enables users to engineer solutions to address health inequities. The tool will help users in identifying potential changes within a programme to remove financial, geographical, gender-linked and other barriers driving health inequities. Innov8 also helps users in identifying when an intersectoral or whole- of-government approach is the most appropriate course of action, at which point the Health in all policies: training manual (3) may offer the best pathway to success. Innov8 will also guide users to understanding opportunities to further engage communities across the programme cycle. Innov8 is most effectively used in a workshop format with a skilled facilitator. Much like the Health in all policies: training manual, the Innov8 curriculum can be used to train a network of in-country or regional experts that can supply ongoing support to government actors putting the Innov8 process into practice. Action line 4. Sustainable financing (see Annex 4) The achievement of universal health coverage provides a platform on which all of the health targets of the Sustainable Development Goals can be pursued. Working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals 8 Countries’ ability to deliver on universal health coverage increasingly requires domestic public funding (17) to provide the full range of essential services, medicines and technologies and to ensure financial protection that keeps these services affordable for everyone. The cost of doing so should be expected to be significant (18), and countries will have to identify revenue to fill the gap, develop strategies to allocate these resources effectively and ensure the sustainability of the system. Highlighted tool: eLearning course on health financing policy for universal health coverage WHO offers a robust set of financing tools for countries as they work towards progressively realizing universal health coverage. Many of the tools offer solu- tions to specific technical questions in health financing; several key WHO tools bring these solutions together comprehensively. Country-level teams seeking to support Member States with health financing need to have a working fluency with key health financing issues, to engage at a strategic level and to coordinate technical assistance programmes between WHO technical teams and Member States. The eLearning course on health financing policy for universal health coverage (6) offers a useful entry point for users on core concepts in raising and pooling revenue, purchasing health services and structuring benefit packages in a short, practical format. The first module may be enough for most users to sufficiently understand the issues to move forward, although most would benefit from following the full course before engaging with Developing a national health financing strategy: a reference guide (19). The guide presents a framework for organizing a strategy on health financing. It introduces key health financing policy issues that every country needs to address and applies the eLearning course concepts within the structure of a financing strategy. The guide is also a relatively short, practical volume and, when paired with the eLearning course, offers a valuable primer on health financing, preparing a generalist audience to be able to coordinate assistance for developing a financing strategy. The era of sustainable development has begun with a challenging transition for countries towards domestic financing for health, but WHO has resources to support countries through this transition. Moreover, the principles of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development present an opportunity for countries to set health finances on a more sustainable path. Transitioning from the focus of the Millennium Development Goals era on a narrow set of health conditions and funding for foreign assistance projects to country-led financing for more comprehensive health systems presents an opportunity for greater efficiency and stability. Securing adequate funding for the health system can help it to deliver on all domestic health priorities without the distortions to the system of external influence. Further, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development proposes that health-related systems across society and the development sphere influence A WHO toolkit 9 health outcomes. This creates opportunities to finance better health outcomes with funding beyond the health system, with synergistic investments in such areas as road traffic safety, clean energy, adequate housing and improving air quality. Smart investment in other sectors that also produces benefits for health reduces the costs of ill health for the health system and broadens the funding base for health outcomes. Action line 5. Scientific research and innovation (see Annex 5) The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is an open opportunity for countries to chart their own paths to improving health and achieving the health- related targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. With this opportunity comes the responsibility to mobilize domestic research and to build evidence for the most effective use of resources to improve health for everyone. The pathways to achieving the ambition of the agenda for health of the Sustainable Development Goals are not predetermined and will have to be investigated. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals requires that countries understand the need for research to build that roadmap. Building capacity to implement the research agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals, so that countries will both produce and use such research, must also be a priority. Highlighted tool: The world health report 2013: research for universal health coverage Countries must develop domestic research capacity if they are to succeed in achieving the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. Building domestic research capacity requires patiently investing in a longer-term vision. To that end, decision-makers need to understand the value of investigating the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development for health and development. The world health report 2013: research for universal health coverage (7) serves as an impor- tant primer on the need for research for universal health coverage. The report was published a few years before the Sustainable Development Goals were adopted, but it serves as a useful stand-in, since there is no publication yet of equivalent depth for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Universal health cov- erage is crucial for the agenda for health of the Sustainable Development Goals, and the report is a model for arguments that must be made for research on the Sustainable Development Goals – a similarly grand vision without an established roadmap for implementation. Most of the key arguments on the role of research for universal health coverage are in Chapter 1; Chapters 2 and 3 provide argu- ments and supporting evidence for the value research can deliver. As the development paradigm shifts to more domestic financing for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, efforts to build demand for health research and innovation will help to ensure that domestic research is adequately resourced, institutionalized and used. It will also be important to shape research efforts and capacity to align with the needs presented by the Sustainable Development Goal Working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals 10 agenda. The WHO strategy on research for health continues to guide WHO’s research efforts, including developing national research capacity (20). It is a strategy from the Millennium Development Goals era that offers flexibility to adapt to the emerging needs of the Sustainable Development Goals era. Research priorities will need to be adjusted – not just for priority health needs but also to investigate the most effective ways to implement the Sustainable Development Goals agenda. The latter can be treated as a research agenda, in which, for example, research can explore how synergy between health and health-related systems can accelerate gains in health and health equity. This will require developing research capacity as well. The Implementation research toolkit (21) offered by the UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases offers an important example of tool- guided capacity-building for research on the Sustainable Development Goals. It is a useful entry point for country-level operators to understand the suite of methods and programmes available to study the real barriers and potential for efficiency in the health system. Action line 6. Monitoring and evaluation (see Annex 6) Countries have agreed to take the lead in monitoring their progress across the health and health-related indicators spread across the 17 Goals. The health and health-related goals cannot be achieved without well-functioning health infor- mation systems to inform strategic decisions and to manage implementation. A well-functioning health information system addresses a comprehensive range of information needs, draws on multiple data sources to meet these needs, operates according to defined standards for data collection and management, encom- passes transparent processes for review, communication and use of information, and is underpinned by clear and effective governance and other factors that con- tribute to better health systems, such as health workforce and infrastructure. Countries need to build health information systems that can deliver more extensive and more reliable information. They also need to develop capacity to more effectively analyse, communicate and use this information. Implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development offers an unprecedented opportunity for Member States to advance their health information capacity to plan and manage for better health outcomes. Highlighted tool: SCORE for health data technical package WHO and partners have developed the SCORE for health data technical package (8) to assist Member States in strengthening data systems and capacity to moni- tor and track progress towards achieving the health-related Sustainable Develop- ment Goals and other national and subnational health priorities. The SCORE for health data technical package represents the most effective strategies and interventions – based on the best available evidence – needed to strengthen country health data systems and capacity for monitoring health pri- A WHO toolkit 11 orities. It encourages investment in a select number of interventions and tools that have the greatest potential for affecting the quality, availability, analysis, use and accessibility of data in countries. These data are required to accelerate pro- gress in monitoring health priorities, to allocate resources effectively, to enhance performance, and to demonstrate accountability nationally and globally. The SCORE for health data technical package comprises five key strategies: ■ S – survey populations and health risks to know what makes people sick or at higher risk; ■ C – count births, deaths and causes of death to know who is born and what people die from; ■ O – optimize health service data to ensure equitable, high-quality services for everyone; ■ R – review progress and performance to make informed decisions; and ■ E – enable data use for policy and action to accelerate improvement. Key actions, tools and resources are recommended to support implementation. SCORE is a baseline survey and monitoring tool to support Member States in assessing the state of current health information systems and setting priorities and planning for improvement. All countries are at different stages of developing their health information systems, and setting priorities and sequencing investments and interventions must be based on individual country circumstances to optimally respond to national health needs.
