To assist with the final document for the Country Business Model (CBM) 2.0 and the writing implementation plan, includes the timelines, in priority countries. The CBM 2.0 is intended to produce a comprehensive functional model for strengthening the WHO emergency programme.
To ensure timely, predictable and effective leadership for health emergencies, the WHO Emergencies Program established a Country Business Model (CBM) in 2017, to provide the sustained organizational capacity required to implement the core health emergency functions. The CBM determines the mandatory staffing model at country level to scale up capacity for health emergencies, through pre-defined core functions required for countries to better implement.
