The WHO Academy aims to improve the quality of learning provided to the health workforce by implementing rigorous standards for learning content. The WHO Academy’s quality standards, outlined in the Collaboration Framework, provide a quality guarantee for all courses provided by the WHO Academy, and serve as a reference for learning materials developed by other WHO entities and partners.

Ensuring that WHO’s exacting standards in developing robust and evidence-based content in the health domain are maintained was central to the development of the quality standards. Standards related to best practices in learning have been developed and tested by WHO Academy’s experts on learning and learning technologies with guidance from the Quality Committee.

The WHO Academy Quality Committee is comprised of up to nine experts from around the world, representing a broad range of disciplines, including lifelong learning, patient and community advocacy, quality management and digital technologies.
