Key messages
This is a summary of the key messages emerging from the survey responses of the Belgian stakeholder, organized by theme.
01
Need for alignment
National strategy ↔ EU strategy
- Belgium does not have a National Strategy for Global Health, yet the respondent considers it useful and important to develop one.
- Alignment between a future national strategy and the EU Global Health Strategy is seen as important, confirming the value of coherence between the two levels.
- A National Strategy aligned with the European one is considered important, but this does not prevent it from placing a stronger focus on certain topics or being more ambitious in specific areas.
- Belgium does not currently have a Global Health Ambassador, and the national institutional framework on Global Health is still taking shape.
02
Strengthening EU-GHI implementation
Focus on gaps, not on stocktaking
- Added value lies in focusing on the challenges and potential gaps in the implementation of the strategy, rather than dedicating resources to an extensive mapping of existing actions.
- The aim is to improve the current situation rather than merely conducting a stock-taking exercise.
- On the need to further disseminate information about the EU Global Health Strategy to stakeholders, the respondent answered "don't know" — suggesting the question itself is not yet clearly assessed at national level.
- On how implementation could be strengthened, the respondent selected "other" rather than the proposed options, pointing to a preference for an approach not captured by standard coordination/follow-up/dialogue categories.
03
National coordination and key actors
Who does what, and how they talk to each other
- The main Global Health actors identified in Belgium are the FPS Public Health, the Directorate-General for Development Cooperation, FPS Foreign Affairs, the Government of Flanders and Wallonia, and the Federal Agency for Medicines and Medical Products.
- A formal coordination mechanism exists among these actors.
- The institutional landscape spans both federal and federated levels (Flanders and Wallonia), reflecting Belgium's multi-level governance approach to Global Health.
