- The Strategic Plan establishes the joint commitment of Member States and PASB for the period 2026–2031, taking into account the changing health landscape, as well as the context and priorities of each country. The Results Framework follows the new results chain and indicates that results must be guided by collective priorities in areas where PAHO adds value, drives impact in countries, and addresses health gaps. The results aim to respond to collective commitments from the Country Cooperation Strategies (including country strategic input, where these Country Cooperation Strategies do not yet exist or have expired), as well as the regional and global mandates. Furthermore, the results were informed by lessons learned and recommendations from audits and external evaluations.
- The Results Framework is anchored at the highest level by the overarching impact goal. Progress toward this goal will be monitored by impact indicators that measure sustainable changes in the health and well-being of populations. Twelve outcomes (OCMs) are proposed as the results representing the collective or individual changes in the factors that affect the health of populations to which the SP26–31 interventions will contribute. The outcomes are measured through the outcome indicators and are organized under five Strategic Objectives (SOs), which are high level objective statements that group related outcomes but are not part of the results chain. Through the development of outputs in the program budgets under this Strategic Plan, PASB will implement deliverables that influence, enable, and catalyze the joint action of Member States and partners toward the delivery of targeted outcomes and impacts.
- As the situation analysis shows, the Region stands at a critical juncture with a limited window of opportunity to get back on track and meet regional and global health goals that advance sustainable development. The SP26–31 Results Framework, follows a more integrated interprogrammatic approach aimed at acceleration. Multiple areas of complementarity can be observed; for instance, addressing the determinants of health and risk factors, promoting intersectoral action, tackling the health impacts of various environmental challenges, and adopting an approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, reinforcing the central role of primary health care, enhancing health system resilience, strengthening information
