5.1 Country <strong>and</strong> regional needs<br />
Using the four thematic areas as a guide, the global <strong>strategic</strong> <strong>directions</strong> provide an overall framework<br />
within which Member States, WHO <strong>and</strong> partners can prioritize <strong>and</strong> contextualize objectives <strong>and</strong> activities<br />
to address their specific health care needs <strong>and</strong> challenges. Countries must be encouraged to take the<br />
global <strong>strategic</strong> <strong>directions</strong> into account in their national health <strong>and</strong> human resources <strong>for</strong> health planning<br />
<strong>and</strong> policy-making. WHO headquarters <strong>and</strong> regional offices, in conjunction with partners, will provide<br />
technical support to countries in need as requested. WHO will strengthen the ability of regional institutions<br />
to support ef<strong>for</strong>ts to improve <strong>nursing</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>midwifery</strong> services at the country level <strong>and</strong> to lead joint ef<strong>for</strong>ts in<br />
specific areas of work within the operational framework of the global <strong>strategic</strong> <strong>directions</strong>.<br />
5.2 Areas <strong>for</strong> expedited action<br />
WHO will work with experts <strong>and</strong> stakeholders to prioritize areas of intervention in the four thematic areas<br />
that require immediate action based on needs. Priority areas <strong>for</strong> the implementation of the global <strong>strategic</strong><br />
<strong>directions</strong> include:<br />
• development of a global programme of work to support implementation of the global <strong>strategic</strong><br />
<strong>directions</strong>;<br />
• development of tools <strong>and</strong> templates <strong>for</strong> the collection, storage <strong>and</strong> update of baseline data <strong>for</strong><br />
monitoring <strong>and</strong> evaluation of implementation of the global <strong>strategic</strong> <strong>directions</strong>;<br />
