Health systems of emerging economies face similar funding pressures, while also striving to attain and maintain universal health coverage. As a consequence, in 2013 the OECD started expanding the activities of the Joint Network to non-OECD countries, in partnership with the WHO, the Global Fund, CABRI, the Asian and Inter-American Development Banks (IDB, ADB) and the World Bank. The main objective of these expanded activities is to support the development of good budgeting and public financial management practices in countries, thereby helping achieve a sustainable Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
