WHO is proud of its long and fruitful partnership with #France 🇫🇷, a key actor in global health.

France spearheads innovating health solutions & is a crucial supporter of WHO's work to achieve healthy lives and well-being for all people of all ages.

👉 bit.ly/2Y7tm7A
The #France-WHO Framework Agreement for 2020 to 2025 provides both a strategic framework for engagement, aligned with WHO priorities, and includes legal, administrative and financial instruments for operationalizing collaboration.

#France 🇫🇷 contributed over US$134.6 million to WHO in current biennium (2020-2021), 77% in flexible/thematic funds. This allows WHO to assign funds when & where they are needed & ensures less well-funded activities benefit from a better flow of resources.
