The overall vision for the Health and Population joint programme is based on a 'Health for All' approach. The selected areas of intervention represent thematic centers of attraction, which provided greater ease in conceptually organizing the joint programming in the Health & Population sector. Population issues are integrated in these five proposed joint programme components, as are issues relating to cross-cutting issues (gender, human rights, civil society participation and refugees). The UN agencies come together to work in the following areas of health & population:

MNCH and FP/RH in the context of PHC

Communicable Disease Control

Nutrition, Health Promotion

Health Systems Development

HIV and AIDS

Population Census
