• Health security – by 2033, national and selected subnational authorities have increased capacity for health security and animal health policy development, strategic planning and the assessment, mitigation and management of acute and emerging health threats.

KITA SEHAT focuses on the health priorities that matter most to local communities. It puts women, people with disabilities, and marginalized groups at the centre of health system change and builds in climate resilience along the way. We do this by bringing together the following four approaches such as One Health, Climate Resilience, Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) and Locally Led Development (LLD).
