Abstrakt: | Introduction: an organization's long-term success and relevance are linked with compelling strategic development. To that end, the country office of WHO in the United Republic of Tanzania, in collaboration with stakeholders, developed a 6-year Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS), 2022-2027. This paper describes the various steps taken in developing the CCS for the United Republic of Tanzania. Methods: we reviewed the global guideline for the development of CCS. In addition, we analysed documents on the national health sector strategic plan, the 13th Global Program of Work for WHO (GPW13), and the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). We also reviewed data from routine HMIS, the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), and assessment results of the UN on the status of SDGs through the Common Country Assessment (CCA). Results: the performance on the overall Universal Health Coverage (UHC) effective coverage index, on a scale of 0-100, for Tanzania improved from 45.2 in 2010 to 55.2 in 2019. Strengthening health systems, protecting communities against public health emergencies, reducing or controlling exposure of individuals to risk factors, and better health governance, leadership, and accountability were the identified priorities for the CCS. Conclusion: the process of alignment of the CCS document with the national and global strategic goals would help the WHO to support and lead the country's effort towards achieving health-related SDGs. We believe the process we employed will lead to having detailed operational plans for implementation for achieving SDG targets. Keywords: Country cooperation strategy (CCS), sustainable development goal (SDG), strategic document, 13th global program of work (GPW13), health sector strategy, stakeholders, Tanzania.
