SUMMARY

One of the key elements outlined in For the Future: Towards the Healthiest and Safest Region is the
need to strengthen partnerships. Effective partnerships – both within and beyond the health sector – are
pivotal in achieving the Western Pacific Region’s goals for the coming years and beyond. WHO must
go beyond conventional partnerships in order to support countries to address wide-ranging and
interconnected health and development challenges and to deliver on the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs).

On 1–3 July 2019, the First WHO Western Pacific Region Partners’ Forum was held as part of the major
consultation on the development of For the Future. More than 350 individuals attended, and partners
and WHO staff came together virtually to discuss the thematic priorities, operational shifts and the role
partners have in driving the vision forward.

Since then, the world has changed dramatically as a result of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),
and there was a renewed need to virtually convene partners. Attended by approximately
1,000 registrants representing over 35 countries and areas, the Second Partners’ Forum focused on the
essential role of partnerships in the Western Pacific Region in advancing health priorities, how
partnerships have changed during the COVID-19 pandemic and how institutions must work together to
address future public health challenges. The three-day agenda included sessions on partnering beyond
the health sector, communicating on COVID-19 vaccines, WHO’s main thematic priorities in the
Region, youth engagement and more.

WHO partners representing nongovernmental organizations and civil society organizations, United
Nations agencies, academia, WHO collaborating centres, professional societies and other networks
were invited to participate in a range of sessions including panels, interactive discussions, a partner
exhibition and networking.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Meeting organization

The Second WHO Western Pacific Region Partners’ Forum from 30 June to 1 July 2021 was hosted on
an online events platform that allowed participants to experience many of the benefits of an in-person
conference. The three-day Forum included opportunities for participants to contribute to discussions in
chat boxes, virtual “lounges” or topic-focused discussion groups, and to network with other participants,
speakers, and WHO directors and staff through a speed networking session and dedicated time to set up
one-on-one meetings. Fifty-five partner organizations hosted booths and showcased their work during
the Partners’ Expo in a virtual exhibition hall. The Forum was designed to be accessible to anyone
regardless of time zone throughout the three days, and participants had the option to join in and out of
the conversation as they wished.

1.2 Meeting objectives

The objectives of the meeting were:
    (1) to review partnerships between WHO and partners since the First Partners’ Forum,
        highlighting successes and challenges throughout the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
        response, including maintaining essential services;
    (2) to assess what has worked well and what could be done better in terms of partner
        engagement;
    (3) to review new partnerships beyond the health sector that have been leveraged throughout the
        COVID-19 response and identify lessons; and
    (4) to identify further means for WHO and partners to work together to drive forward For the
        Future.

                                          2. PROCEEDINGS

2.1 Opening session and working together during COVID-19

This first half of the session included: opening remarks from Dr Takeshi Kasai, WHO Regional Director
for the Western Pacific; reflections on the First Partners’ Forum, held in 2019; and logistics, such as the
schedule and how to make the best use of the virtual meetings platform, Accelevents. The second half
of the session dove into the COVID-19 situation and how the Western Pacific Region has responded,
with various COVID-19 responders speaking about how partnerships enhanced technical response
interventions such as laboratory, operational support and logistics, and essential health services.
Panellists and moderators concluded that the role of partners from all sectors has expanded during the
COVID-19 response, and many have taken the approach of “preparing while responding”, an approach
championed in the Asia Pacific Strategy for Emerging Diseases and Public Health Emergencies or
APSED, now in its third iteration. The need to continue to invest both in the response and in
preparedness was also emphasized, with preparedness efforts being described as a key component of
our collective future.

2.2 Thematic priority breakout sessions

Four breakout sessions were held covering each of the thematic priority areas outlined in For the Future:
Towards the Healthiest and Safest Region: health security, including antimicrobial resistance (AMR);
climate change, the environment and health (CCE); noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and ageing;

                                                    2
and reaching the unreached. The sessions began with an introduction to the thematic priority area
followed by a short panel discussion, and then open interactions with all participants through live
forums.

2.2.1 Health security, including antimicrobial resistance

The Western Pacific Region continues to face a large number of health security threats, not just from
COVID-19 but also natural disasters, vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles and poliomyelitis,
and emergent threats such as AMR. These diseases, outbreaks and public health emergencies continue
to show us that a health crisis can happen in any country at any time. The panel discussed that
partnerships are essential in preventing, detecting and responding to crises. Eighteen months into the
COVID-19 pandemic, partnerships have been strengthened in both health and non-health sectors.
Participants agreed that community-level preparedness is essential, in addition to preparedness at
national levels. Partnerships are essential to making impact at the community level. Participants also
discussed the challenge of misinformation and the importance of partners speaking together with one
voice. Partners brainstormed how they can work together to support the important issue of developing
legislation related to COVID-19 that will also serve to support future emergencies. Lastly, it was
concluded that the investments made in partnerships prior to COVID-19 have paid dividends.

2.2.2 Climate change, the environment and health

The Western Pacific Region is among the most vulnerable to climate change and environmental
degradation. One quarter of the death and illness in the Region is linked to the environment, with a
disproportionate effect on vulnerable groups such as young children and the poor. Progress in
addressing climate change, the environment and health, or CCE, has been made, even during the
pandemic. Examples include the inaugural meeting of the Technical Advisory Group for CCE in the
Western Pacific Region or the work coordinated by the United Nations Environment Programme or
UNEP. However, incremental change by individual actors will not be enough to halt rapidly rising
temperatures at less than 1.5 degrees Celsius and protect people across the Region from the worst
impacts of climate change, environmental degradation and the flow-on effects on health. While
COVID-19 has challenged us in many ways, participants noted that it has also created a momentum that
must be seized. As we think about what we want the world to look like in the wake of the COVID-19
pandemic, we must consider how we can collectively contribute to the creation of a greener, healthier,
more resilient, and sustainable future, including through stimulating stronger partnerships.

2.2.3 Noncommunicable diseases and ageing

The Asia Pacific region has the largest and fastest growing population of older people anywhere in the
world. While having people enjoy longer lives is generally a positive development, it also poses
challenges for health systems and societies – one of which is the increasing burden of noncommunicable
diseases (NCDs). Panellists and participants discussed how the emergence of COVID-19 has further
increased the urgency for addressing the challenges related to NCDs and ageing. It has revealed gaps
in NCD services, showing that the burden of premature mortality from NCDs is not shared equitably
and making it obvious that older people or people who have NCDs are more likely to become seriously
ill and, sadly, die as a result of COVID-19. Partnerships were seen as an important factor/enabler to
help address these challenges going forward and several examples were highlighted to showcase how
partnerships can be leveraged to foster innovation and promote collaboration across countries as well
as different sectors.

                                                  3
2.2.4 Reaching the unreached

Despite the many public health gains that have been made across the Region, many people still remain
unreached by essential health services. There continues to be a need to transform health care to reach
the most marginalized, vulnerable and stigmatized. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has put more people in
this category. The pandemic has also challenged the efforts of all partners who are working tirelessly
to reach them. During this breakout discussion, partners discussed the important role of innovation and
technology in reaching vulnerable groups. Examples were given of effective community-led approaches.
It was evident that strong partnerships are essential to closing all of the gaps in the coming decades.
Participants noted the importance of trust, working together for a shared vision and working in
partnership both within and beyond the health sector.

2.3 Health beyond the health sector

COVID-19 has confirmed what we already knew: the complexity of today’s health challenges require
us to work in partnership both within and beyond the health sector – but partnering is not always
straightforward. A panel discussion with partner experts explored several partnership examples from
across the Region, addressing questions such as: How can we develop partnerships to create added
value? Do partnering expectations and outcomes change over time? How can we measure the impact of
partnerships? And how can we maximize partnerships for the future? The panel noted that having agreed
goals, clear communication and flexibility to adapt to changing needs are key for successful partnerships.

2.4 Leveraging partnerships for communicating on COVID-19 vaccines

Communication to support the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines has presented unique challenges. The
unprecedented speed and scale, complexity in the scientific, technical and political landscape, and
various risks threatening the success of vaccination efforts has meant that strong partnerships with a
range of actors are essential. This panel discussion convened partners from academia, the private sector,
international organizations and country teams to reflect on the collective effort to communicate with
the public on COVID-19 vaccination amid a highly complex landscape, as well as opportunities to take
this collaboration further. Panellists discussed the need to use a range of sources and varying techniques
to understand and address people’s concerns. Moving forward, it was agreed that further investment is
needed in the Communication for Health space. Advancing this work will require engagement with a
wide range of partners.

2.5 Working with young people, for young people

The First WHO Western Pacific Region Partners’ Forum included a Youth Townhall, where young
people and WHO interns in the Regional Office participated in a panel and Workplace-based discussion
about health issues pertinent to young people in the Region. This session followed on the Youth
Townhall, with the primary objective of advocating the importance of partnerships with groups
representing young people’s interests. It aimed to increase awareness of how the COVID-19 pandemic
has affected young people in the Region and their interests, as well as the importance of partnerships
with groups representing young people’s interests and how to utilize partnerships to improve their health
and well-being. Panellists representing young people, international organizations, WHO Regional
Office teams and academia concluded that interventions and investments that target the ways that young
people have been affected by the COVID-19, including loss of educational and job opportunities and
negative physical and mental health impacts, are needed from governments, nongovernmental
organizations and international organizations.

                                                    4
2.6 The future of partnerships and the way forward

When the First Partners’ Forum was held in 2019, no one could have predicted how much the world
was about to change. In the 2021 closing session, facilitators from key sessions reported back and
discussed what the future of partnerships may look like given the effects of the pandemic. Panellists
also reflected on how we can maintain the partnering momentum that has grown throughout the
response. Key findings included the acknowledgement that partnerships are alive and well in the
Western Pacific Region. The importance of thinking about who we partner with – the “usual” and
“unusual suspects” – was reiterated, noting that 70% of all diseases burden is caused by factors outside
the health sector. The idea of moving from transactional to transformational partnerships was also noted
as important, with different partners bringing together their advantages in order to effectively address
the significant challenges the Region faces. It was agreed that it would be meaningful to have a third
Partners’ Forum.

                                         3. CONCLUSIONS

3.1 Conclusions

The Partners’ Forum confirmed that partnership is a key enabler to achieve the For the Future vision.
Although COVID-19 has presented many challenges, partners have achieved things together that may
have not been possible in normal circumstances. Partners have played an enormous role in the
COVID-19 response, including support with operations, logistics, technical assistance and risk
communications. This includes partnerships beyond the health sector, which have been leveraged more
than before. The challenge now is how to maintain this momentum and ensure that all partners learn
from the pandemic experience and work together to improve. WHO is committed to continuing to
strategically engage with all of its partners and will provide an ongoing avenue for all partners to come
together and reflect on how they can best work together “for the future”.
