Linkage to the current PB (continued) Describe the nature and extent of this contribution, including whether there will be an impact on other parts of the same output. Transforming and developing a sustainable health workforce will be fundamental to making progress across any other technical area of work. Effective health care and improvement in health outcomes in the WHO European Region can only be achieved fully with a sustainable, resilient health workforce, transformed with the knowledge, skills, values, ethics and behaviours to address existing, emerging and new health challenges. Investment in the health workforce is a key enabler for health systems strengthening in the Region. The framework for action which is at the core of this work is aligned with, and builds on, the Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030 (adopted by Member States in resolution WHA69.19 in May 2016) and the Health employment and economic growth: a five-year action plan (2017–2021) of the United Nations High-level Commission. The framework gives guidance to health policy-makers, planners and analysts and others with a responsibility for health workforce issues. It is supported by a toolkit, which provides access to relevant diagnostic, situation assessment, policy and planning tools, analytical approaches and examples of good practice. The efforts of the Regional Office will focus on four areas: promoting the use of the framework by Member States as they consider the Global Strategy and the High-Level Commission recommendations, compiling and updating the toolkit, providing the necessary technical assistance to Member States as they identify and address their individual health workforce priorities within the framework, and providing support for regional, subregional and national policy dialogues on health workforce issues that emerge as critical priorities. 3.
