or national context.
I
A. Introduction
Global health plays an increasingly crucial role in both global securities around the world. The
number one goal of this is to improve the public health around the world to reduce and prevent from any
diseases that will happen in the future. It also help the nation to be more efficient incomes of health issues
by means of adopting the well tested programs around the world. The Philippines has made significant
investments and advances in health in recent years. Rapid economic growth and strong country capacity
have contributed to Filipinos living longer and healthier. However, not all the benefits of this growth have
reached the most vulnerable groups, and the health system remains fragmented.
In this module we will talk about the ways on how Philippines adopt global health initiatives to local
and national context.
B. Discussions
The United Nations Development Program’s Quick Wins
The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) works with different nations and organizations
to withstand crises empower lives and improve the quality of life for all.
One of the UNDP’s intervention programs to achieve the eight millennium development goals is
called Quick Wins, are actions that can be immediately used within the community or locale to produce
effective results. If applied continuously, Quick Wins could change people’s views and beliefs and trigger
actions which could lead to helping millions of lives and countries find their right path towards the goals.
Below are some examples of UNDP’s Quick Wins:
 No school fees and free access to educational materials and facilities in schools to ensure that all
children attend classes. This eliminates poor families’ concept that education is only for those who
can afford it. Finances can include donor assistance from partnerships with private groups.
 Children are provided with free school meals and take-home rations using locally produced food.
 Regular annual deworming for all school children especially in impoverished areas to improve health
and education.
 Provision for poor farmers of affordable supplies of soil nitrogen and other soil nutrients.
 Design community nutrition programs for pregnant, nursing mothers and children below five years
of age. These include breastfeeding, feeding programs and micronutrient supplements like vitamin A
and zinc.
 Offer basic skills training of community members in health, farming, technical-vocational, and
infrastructure.
 Free basic health services sponsored by private organizations.
 Expanded access to sexual and reproductive health information and services. These include family
planning information campaign and services.

 Distribution of free, effective and efficient insecticide-treated bed nets to families especially in
malaria and dengue-endemic areas.
 Active national and local campaigns to reduce violence against women and children.
 Reform and enforce legislation protecting and empowering women’s and children’s rights.
 Empowering women to play an important role in formulating and monitoring poverty reduction
strategies, programs and policies.
 Allowing government-owned hospitals, health centers, schools and other social service institutions
free access to electricity, water, sanitation and internet using sustainable and renewable energies like
solar panels, wind and geothermal generators
 Plant endemic trees at the community level to provide shade, produce, watershed protection,
windbreak and timber
C. Readings
UNDP and the UN
The UN system in the Philippines began in 1945 when the Philippines joined 49 other nations in
signing the United Nations Charter in San Francisco, USA. This
partnership between the government of the Philippines and the
United Nations is underscored by the contributions made by Carlos
P. Romulo who acted as Philippine delegate to the United Nations
Organization Conference in San Francisco and then became the
Philippine ambassador to the United Nations from 1946 to 1954. He
distinguished himself as the first Asian to become president of the
UN
General
Assembly (Fourth
Session,
Sept.
20,
1949).

Technical, financial and other forms of assistance to the Philippines began in the late 1940s as
the country recovered from the ravages of World War II. This partnership has progressed since then
into a number of development initiatives, activities and programs. The establishment of the UNDP in
1965 further strengthened the UN's cooperation with the country.
UNDP in the Philippines
UN's Global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge,
experience and resources to help people build a better life. UNDP has been working to ensure better lives
for the Filipino people since 1965, and has been committed to helping the country achieve
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as national development priorities as set out in the
Philippine Development Plan and the UN Philippines Partnership Framework for Sust ainable
Development.

What do we want to accomplish?
UNDP’s Country Program Document (2019-2023) focuses on three key areas of intervention:
 improving access to social services for the poor,
 supporting the transition to environmentally sustainable development, and
 responding to the drivers of conflict.
Bringing better services to the marginalized and at-risk is done by further developing efforts of
local government units (LGUs), strengthening governance in key national agencies, as well as
encouraging more citizens to engage in government policies and programs.
UNDP works to enhance risk-informed policies and programs, support the implementation of the
Paris Agreement and improve natural resource management as part of its efforts towards climate action.
D. Examples
Some samples of programs that the Philippine government do to achieve the Sustainable
developmental Goals are:
The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) was established in 2008 under former President
Arroyo to provide the nation's most impoverished families with education and healthcare assistance.
The Country Programming Framework (CPF) 2018-2024 defines the technical cooperation
priorities for the period 2018-2024 of the partnership between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations (FAO) and the Government of the Philippines. The document is anchored in the priorities
and development thrusts enunciated in the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022 which focus on:
(i) accelerating human capital development, specifically the outcome on improved nutrition for all; (ii)
expanding economic opportunities in agriculture, fisheries, and forestry (AFF); (iii) ensuring ecological
integrity, clean and healthy environment; (iv) reducing vulnerability of individuals and families; and (v)
attaining just and lasting peace.
Water Action Decade, 2018-2028 40 per cent shortfall in freshwater resources by 2030 coupled
with a rising world population has the world careening towards a global water crisis. Recognizing the
growing challenge of water scarcity the UN General Assembly launched the Water Action Decade on 22
March 2018, to mobilize action that will help transform how we manage water.
