matters, shaping the health research agenda, setting
norms and standards, articulating evidence-based
policy options, providing technical
support to countries and monitoring and assessing
health trends.
What is WHO doing!!
WHO is reforming to be better equipped to address the
increasingly complex challenges of the health of
populations in the 21st century. From persisting
problems to new and emerging public health threats,
WHO needs to be flexible enough to respond to this
evolving environment.
Who are they??
UNICEF is the driving force that helps build a world
where the rights of every child are realized. We have
the global authority to influence decision-makers, and
the variety of partners at grassroots level to turn the
most innovative ideas into reality. That makes us
unique among world organizations, and unique
among those working with the young.

Child survival and development
Since 1990, child mortality for those under 5 has fallen
by 47 per cent around the world. Yet too many children
still die needlessly, most of them from causes that are
both treatable and preventable.
In 2012, 6.6 million children died before reaching their
fifth birthday. It is a sharp decrease from 1990, when
more than 12 million children died under age five but
it is not good enough.

Examples of projects assisted by Health and Family Planning
offices are projects for eradication of communicable diseases,
strengthening of public health systems focusing on
maternal-child health including family planning services,
HIV-AIDS monitoring, delivery of medical supplies including
contraceptives and HIV vaccines, and coordination of
Demographic and Health Surveys. This assistance is
primarily targeted to the poor majority of the population and
corresponds to USAID's poverty relief objective, as well as
strengthening the basis for socioeconomic development.
How is USAID related to the
Philippines
The Philippines has historic ties with the United States
and is an important development, trade and regional
security partner
In November 2011, the Philippines and U. S.
Governments agreed to the new Partnership for
Growth (PFG), which mobilizes the resources of both
governments to address the most serious constraints to
economic growth and development in the Philippines.
USAID's programs in the country focus on accelerating
and sustaining broad-based and inclusive economic
growth, improving the quality of education at the
basic and higher levels, enhancing natural resources
and environmental services, strengthening family
health and promoting peace and stability in conflict-
affected areas of Mindanao.
Asian Development Bank

regional development bank to facilitate
economic development of countries in Asia.
ADB was modeled closely on the World
Bank, and has a similar weighted voting
system where votes are distributed in
proportion with member's capital
subscriptions.
How is ADB related to the
Philippines?
ADB's country partnership strategy, 2011 to 2016, for
the Philippines targets governance reforms and
measures to drive broad-based growth and poverty
reduction efforts. The program amounts to $3.8 billion
for the 6-year period. The new strategy is fully aligned
with government priorities, focusing on strengthening
the investment environment to attract more private
