COLLABORATION WITH NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS Report of the Sub-Committee of the Regional Committee on Programmes and Technical Cooperation, Part III
The Sub-Committee of the Regional Committee on Programmes and Technical Cooperation discussed collaboration with nongovernmental organizations in the Western Pacific Region during the period 1989-1994. This collaboration was initiated by various resolutions of the World Health Assembly and of the Regional Committee. In 1989, guiding principles for collaboration were established in resolution WPRlRC40.Rll which requested, inter alia, the Regional Director to foster collaboration with selected nongovernmental organizations. The resolution also requested the Sub-Committee to review WHO's collaboration with nongovernmental organizations from time to time as appropriate and to report to the Regional Committee on its findings. The present document summarizes the joint activities developed at regional and country levels together with a review of difficulties encountered. In its discussions, the Sub-Committee made recommendations on future collaboration in the light of the present status of collaboration and likely developments.

INTRODUCTION
In 1986, the Regional Committee, at its thirty-seventh session, adopted resolution WPR/RC37.R8.
This took note of the World Health Assembly resolution WHA38.31 of
May 1985, referring particularly to operative paragraph 5. In this section, the Regional Committee was requested to consider ways and means of strengthening the involvement of regional and national nongovernmental organizations in the implementation of regional and national health-for-all strategies. The resolution urges Member States to take all necessary steps to promote better coordination and to develop collaborative activities with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). It further requested the Regional Director to establish, for a two-year trial period, a mechanism for the development of working relations with selected regional and national nongovernmental organizations and to report to the Regional Committee at its fortieth session. The Sub-Committee on Programmes and Technical Cooperation, at its meeting in July 1989, reviewed the report of the Regional Director on collaboration with national and regional nongovernmental organizations in the Western Pacific Region. It noted that the activities Moreover, the Subundertaken within informal working relations were not significant in terms of number of achievements, and therefore it was too early to undertake an evaluation. establishing working relations with NGOs.

collaboration with selected
nongovernmental organizations within the framework of these guiding principles for a trial period of three to five years and to report to the Regional Committee on his findings at the end of this period. It further requested the Sub-Committee to consider issues concerning working relations

2. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Following the adoption of resolution WPRlRC40.Rll, a number of working relations have been developed or strengthened with various nongovernmental organizations. identified. As defined in the 1989 guiding principles, three types of relations with NGOs at regional and national levels were These were: with regional or national nongovernmental organizations affiliated to international NGOs not in official relations with WHO, regional or national NGOs for which there is no international NGO, and regional or national NGOs affiliated to international NGOs in official
-
relations with WHO. In this report, activities for the first two types are grouped together. A large number of joint activities with various nongovernmental organizations were developed at regional and country levels. This included exchange of information, I cosponsorship of meetings, supply of WHO materials for in-country distribution, support of meetings of nongovernmental organizations by providing local costs or consultants, attendance by WHO staff, support of exchanges of staff between countries, and support of translation of WHO publications into national languages. activities.

Collaboration with nongovernmental organizations in official relations with WHO In total, 29 NGOs in official relations with WHO are in close collaboration with the Regional
Office.
Further details of this collaboration are provided in Annex 2.
This category of
nongovernmental organizations is invited every year to the session of the Regional Committee. This provides an opportunity for them to follow discussions on WHO and Regional Office policies and programmes, to speak occasionally during discussions without right to vote, and to establish contact with Regional Office programme managers.
2.2
Regional and national nongovernmental organizations Collaborative activities have been expanded and developed with 94 regional and national
nongovernmental organizations according to the guiding principles adopted by the Regional Committee at its fortieth session in 1989. Of these, 21 have international affiliations, 12 are regional organizations and 61 are national organizations. All these NGOs have shown keen interest in conducting joint activities. A list of these activities are given in Annex 3. 1Exchange of infonnation refers to activities such as preliminary discussion on policies and programmes, possible future collaboration, and the provision of WHO publications and other relevant documents.
WPR/RC4S/IO page 4
This list shows that a large number of activities involving NGOs were in the programme area of HIY I AIDS prevention and control. This is probably due to the fact that governments are hesitant to take official positions on the sensitive issues involved but recognize the need to pay attention to them in order to control the problem. Many NGO activities took place in Cambodia. bener dealt with at unofficial levels. This reflects the country's transitional
situation as it emerges from a long period of conflict. In this situation, sensitive issues may be

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
-
Nongovernmental organizations are playing an increasing role in national health development throughout the Western Pacific Region. In recognition of the NGOs' role it is important that the Regional Office strengthen relationships at regional and national levels, with a view to better coordinating collaborative activities in the health sector. It is recognized that NGOs can enhance WHO's resource mobilization efforts. The WHO Representative should play an important role, together with national governments, in coordinating NGO collaboration. The Sub-Committee of the Regional Committee on Programmes and Technical Cooperation, in evaluating WHO's collaboration with regional and national nongovernmental organizations, takes note of these findings. The Sub-Committee recommends to the Regional Committee that: (I)
NGOs and national
WHO should continue to foster working relations with NGOs. Such relations may not need
to be formalized if flexible working arrangements are adequate and effective. As part of this effort, regional and national databases on NGOs should be developed. (2) WHO Representatives should promote cooperation between
governments in achieving health outcomes. (3) WHO's collaboration with NGOs, and the mechanisms for such collaboration, should be
reviewed every three to five years by the Regional Committee, through its Sub-Committee on Programmes and Technical Cooperation.

PROVISIONAL GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF WORKING RELATIONS WITH REGIONAL AND NATIONAL NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS
Introduction
-. As stated in Article 2 of the Constitution, one of the main functions of the Organization is to act as the directing and coordinating authority on international health work. In support of this function, and in accordance with Article 71 of the Constitution, WHO may make suitable arrangements for consultation and cooperation with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in carrying out its international health work. 1. Definition In the present context a nongovernmental organization is understood to be an organization
-.
which is not fully funded or controlled by government and which is promoting human well-being on a not-for-profit basis. When it exists in only one country, it will be considered as a national NGO, and when it exists in a number of countries in the Region it will be considered as a regional NGO. The organization should have a legally established constitution, a clear purpose and visible activities with a governing body which has the authority to speak for its members. It mayor may not be affiliated to an international organization. 2. 2.1 Types of relations with NGOs at the regional and national levels Regional or national NGOs affiliated to international NGOs in official relations with WHO.

WHO periodically reviews the collaborative activities, which should be mutually beneficial,
and beneficial to Member States. 4.4 When a number of specific joint activities are found to be progressing well, the Regional
Director may assess them with the concerned officials with regard to establishing formal working relations with these NGOs. Applications from NGOs for formalizing working relations should normally reach the Regional Office not later than six months before the convening of the Regional Committee. Applications from national organizations shall be considered in consultation with the Government of the Member State concerned. On the basis of this consultation and the assessment referred to above, the Regional Director will make recommendations to the Regional Committee. Consideration should be given to the desirability of ensuring a valuable continuing partnership based on defined objectives and evidenced by a record of successful past collaboration and a framework for future collaborative activities. 4.5 The Regional Committee, after considering the recommendations of the Regional Director,
shall decide whether an NGO is to be admitted into working relations with WPRO. 4.6 The Regional Director shall inform each organization of the Regional Committee's decision
on its application.
