Public Health

• At least 30% of the total eligible expenditure of the programme shall be allocated to projects that contribute to the prevention and combatting of domestic and gender-based violence, in line with international and European human rights standards. The programme shall promote cooperation among relevant stakeholders.
• Supported interventions shall be informed by local populations’ health needs and by the best available evidence and shall include measures reducing inequalities in health. Projects shall include robust monitoring arrangements and adequate sustainability provisions.
• The Ministry of Health shall act as Programme Partner and be actively involved in the preparation and implementation of the programme, also as a member of the Cooperation Committee.
• The programme shall strengthen access to community health promotion and prevention and primary healthcare, with particular attention to deprived and segregated neighbourhoods and groups in vulnerable situations.
• The programme shall support measures to strengthen health preparedness and resilience within the public healthcare system, including emergency preparedness and response.
• The programme shall support participation in the SYNERGY Network against Gender-based and Domestic Violence and facilitate coordination between the SYNERGY Network and the Mission Driven Initiative Pathways to End Violence Against Women, led by the Council of Europe.
• The programme shall support public healthcare service providers to deliver integrated, community-based healthcare and access to primary healthcare, including through the use of digital tools for the provision of patient-centred prevention and care. The programme shall strengthen cooperation between primary healthcare, community health promotion and social services, including through local health coalitions and the active involvement of local communities. All measures shall be integrated in the public healthcare system and strengthen equal and non-discriminatory access to public health services and healthcare.

No projects have been signed under this programme. That is a real state rather than a gap in the data: bilateral funds and newly agreed programmes both sit here.
