| Partners for Health was one component of UNESCAP’s ‘Pro-Poor Public Private Partnerships’ or ‘5Ps’ project initiated in January 2003, encompassing water, energy, health and bio-diversity which was initiated in following up on the World Summit for Social Development (WSSD) (Johannesburg, August 2002).
WSSD emphasized determined action and implementation of commitments already made in the priority areas of water, energy, health, agriculture and bio-diversity. In a unique departure from previous United Nations conferences, the WSSD resulted in the launch of over 300 voluntary partnerships among governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), inter-governmental organizations and businesses to harness additional resources for the implementation of sustainable development.
