The SP26–31 outcomes are the highest level of programmatic results to be presented in the proposed PB26–27. Recognizing the interconnection between outcomes, and to provide a more comprehensive view, the 12 outcomes of the SP26–31 have been grouped into five strategic objectives (SO), which are high-level objective statements that serve to group related outcomes but that are not part of the results chain.

In line with the SP26–31 integrated approach, the budget by outcome has been organized under five strategic objectives (SOs), shown in the table below. The strategic objectives will facilitate the management and implementation of the Strategic Plan’s outcomes, covering all planning and performance monitoring, assessment, and reporting processes, including the PB26–27.
 

The base programs of PB26–27 will be financed through:

a) Assessed contributions from Member States, Participating States, and Associate Members;

b) Budgeted miscellaneous revenue;

c) Other PAHO financing sources, including voluntary contributions and special funds; and

d) Funding allocated by the World Health Organization to the Region of the Americas (consisting of both WHO flexible funding and voluntary contributions).

The financial outlook for PB26–27 remains subject to an evolving and uncertain global financing landscape. Assuming full payment of assessed contributions from Member States, along with projected voluntary contributions, other PAHO sources, and projected funding to the Region of the Americas, PASB currently estimates that the base programs for PB26–27 will be 81% funded ($539 million of $662 million), leaving a funding gap of $123 million.

To fulfill its mandate, PAHO is committed to securing full funding of the PB26–27 by exploring strategies to attract more flexible voluntary contributions, which are crucial for ensuring quality and timely delivery of technical cooperation. The support of Member States and partners will be more critical than ever in achieving this goal.
