Background
The EU commitment to health in its development policy is outlined in the “EU Role in Global Health” Communication (2010) that defines areas of support, such as better sector governance, universal coverage by quality health services, increased policy coherence across sectors influencing health, and knowledge generation for evidence-based decisions. The EU strategy to reducing poverty is outlined in the Agenda for Change (2011); it acknowledges health as an important determinant of economic growth and development, as it is one of the sectors, together with education and social protection that "build the foundations for growth and help ensure that it is inclusive".
