01
Need for alignment
National strategy ↔ EU strategy
- Both Bulgarian respondents consider alignment between national and EU Global Health strategies important (100%), even though they report their country currently has no National Strategy for Global Health.
- Both respondents also believe it would be useful and important to develop a National Strategy for Global Health (100%), suggesting alignment is seen as a future goal rather than a current state.
02
Communication and implementation
Disseminate, engage, implement
- Both respondents agree on the need to further disseminate information about the EU Global Health Strategy (100%).
- Suggested target audiences are split evenly between government/ministries and civil society (50% each).
- Social media is unanimously identified as the channel to use for disseminating the Strategy (100%).
- Respondents describe communication as needing to involve NGOs, civil society partners, global partners, citizens, governmental bodies, agencies, and the education sector, with suggested channels including educational courses, conferences, media, and social networks.
- On strengthening implementation, respondents point to working meetings and policy-level coordination, calling for nationally responsible authorities and EU mechanisms to reinforce dialogue with stakeholders.

Who does what, and how they talk to each other
