Abstract: This Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) has been jointly elaborated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Parliamentary Secretariat for Health within the Ministry for R Energy and Health of Malta. It is the result of extensive consultations, both internal and external, with relevant stakeholders. It is based on a number of national strategies within the Health 2020 policy framework and the WHO Twelfth General programme of Works The CCS is expected to be highly beneficial for Malta as it formalizes and improves on the coordination between Parliamentary Secretariat for Health of Malta and the WHO while it clearly highlights the role to be played by Malta in the global health agenda. Following and extensive analysis of all the policy documents and the consultation and prioritisation process carried out with stakeholders, four strategic priorities were identified. These strategic priorities emphasize the contribution, scope, and political commitment of WHO and Malta to the national and regional health agendas through a two way process of collaboration. The four strategic priorities are: • collaborating on promoting the Health 2020 policy framework, including intersectoral action, towards strengthened people-centred health systems; • addressing the increasing burden ofNCDs, in particular obesity and mental health, through intersectoral and life-course approaches; • supporting cross-border collaboration on health with an emphasis on emergency preparedness and response, including refugee and migrant health; and • further promoting the role of Malta in international health and its global and regional contribution. Within these four strategic priorities are embodied opportunities for developing national capacities and targeting national health needs, priorities and challenges and provide the necessary direction for a systematic and sustainable collaboration through the formulation of BCAs for the next six years.
