What are the core features of the CCS?
• The Head of WHO Country Office leads the team that undertakes the entire process with input from, and/or full participation of, the WHO Regional Office, headquarters, possibly other WHO Regions and country offices. The composition of the CCS team may vary depending on the context. • Consultation and strategic dialogue at the country level, and within the entire WHO Secretariat, is the key to a successful CCS. This requires collaborative spirit and a sense of responsibility towards country work. • WHO Country Cooperation Strategies have the flexibility to align their timeframes as much as possible on cycles at the country level. Cycles differ from one country to another. Different CCSs thus cover different periods of time.
