European Programme of Work

Indicators: 48
Updated: 21 November 2023

The European Programme of Work, 2020–2025 – “United Action for Better Health in Europe” (EPW), was adopted by the 70th session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe (RC70) (EUR/RC70/11 Rev.4). The EPW shapes the Region’s contribution to the Thirteenth General Programme of Work (GPW 13) in its three interconnected strategic priorities: 
• Moving towards universal health coverage (UHC)  
• Protecting people better against health emergencies 
• Ensuring healthy lives and well-being for all at all ages. 


In the European Region, The EPW is the leading policy framework to steer and coordinate action towards building back better after the COVID-19 crisis. It supports countries in their commitments to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Global Action Plan for Healthy Lives and Well-Being for All. It puts particular focus on supporting capacities for effective health leadership and engagement with other policy sectors.
4 flagship initiatives
• The Mental Health Coalition
• Empowerment through Digital Health
• The European Immunization Agenda 2030
• Healthier behaviours: incorporating behavioural and cultural insights


The EPW measurement framework includes 26 indicator areas of high importance to monitor progress towards leaving no one behind. It encompasses a subset of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets and outcome indicators included in the GPW13 WHO Impact Framework as a basis. The indicators selected from this framework are then complemented with additional indicators found in other frameworks throughout the European Region. It also uses a concrete milestone to be achieved by 2025, to ensure that the measurement framework is well aligned with the European context. 
The EPW measurement framework indicators focus on two major issues of COVID-19 and inequity. These indicators were chosen based on predetermined criteria, to ensure that they are appropriate, feasible and aligned with existing global or regional strategies or strategies under development. Wherever possible, the EPW measurement framework uses indicators that are informative for multiple core priorities and flagship initiatives (for example, an indicator on premature noncommunicable disease mortality serves both the universal health coverage and healthier populations core priorities). At a minimum, the EPW measurement framework aims to disaggregate relevant indicators by sex and age. Whenever feasible, additional disaggregation, such as by socioeconomic status and geographical levels, is planned.

Definition:
The age-standardized mortality rate is a weighted average of the age-specific mortality rates per 100 000 persons, where the weights are the proportions of persons in the corresponding age groups of the WHO standard population.

Method of estimation:
The estimates are derived from the WHO Global Health Estimates (GHE) 2015. Detailed methods are available here, and summarized below. All-cause mortality rates by age and sex for WHO Member States are derived from life tables which draw on UN World Population Prospects 2015 revision, recent and unpublished analyses of all-cause and HIV mortality for countries with high HIV prevalence, vital registration data, and estimates of child mortality from UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation. Cause-of-death distributions are estimated from death registration data when available; assessed and adjusted for completeness and ill-defined categories. Selected specific causes are based on WHO and UN Interagency estimation processes, which made use of epidemiological studies, disease registers and notifications systems. Other causes of death for populations without useable death-registration data are estimated, drawing on updated IHME single-cause analyses from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2015 study, which made use of available death registration data as well as other sources of information on deaths, covariate regression modelling, and patterns of causes of death for similar countries. These estimates represent the best estimates of WHO, computed using standard categories, definitions and methods to ensure cross-country comparability, and may not be the same as official national estimates. Due to changes in input data and methods, GHE2015 are not comparable to previously published WHO estimates.
