9 November 2022 WHO Departmental news

As a member of the United Nations Interagency Task Force on Religion and Sustainable Development the WHO supports the UN-System’s work in engaging faith-based organizations and networks. The 2021 UN IATF-R Annual Report, accessible here, outlines the initiatives taken by WHO and other UN entities to further coordination and collaboration with faith partners.
In 2021 the WHO Information Network for Epidemics (EPI-WIN) team together with faith partners, worked to strengthen communication and advocacy activities in response to COVID-19 and for vaccine equity, finalized the WHO Strategy for Engaging Religious Leaders, Faith-Based Organizations and Faith Communities in Health Emergencies, and co-hosted with Religions for Peace the global conference Strengthening National Responses to Health Emergencies: WHO, Religious Leaders, Faith-based Organizations, Faith Communities and National Governments to share experiences, case studies, and lessons-learned from these partnerships.

Recognizing the importance of partnerships that are sustained and institutionalized beyond COVID-19 to guide future emergency preparedness and response and to strengthen universal health care, WHO formalized the WHO Faith Network in early 2022. Since mid 2022, two COPs have been established that address broader goals to establish a more just and equitable society.
