USAID's Global Health Strategic Framework 2012 - 2016

This document sets out a strategic framework for the U.S.Agency for International Development’s (USAID’s) global health sector for FY 2012–2016. It incorporates the principles of the Global Health Initiative (GHI), which form the foundation of our work, is set within USAID’s core development mission and priorities, and promotes an inclusive and integrated approach to global health across the U.S. Government for a more effective and efficient approach to sustainable global health outcomes. This Strategic Framework discusses USAID’s major health priorities for FY 2012–FY 2016: saving mothers and children, fostering an AIDS-free generation, combating infectious diseases, increasing the availability and use of voluntary family planning, and strengthening health systems. It then highlights the key approaches to be used in USAID’s global health response to address these priorities. http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/global_health/home/Publications/docs/gh_framework2012.pdf
