Excerpt
This document is the product of an international seminar supported by the Carnegie Corporation that brought together authorities of various agencies and representatives of countries to rethink the concept of international technical cooperation in health. The Seminar demonstrated the resources that can be mobilized in all areas of the world as a part of technical cooperation. Technical cooperation is the primary product of the Pan American Health Organization's rvork. Its content is based essentially on the needs of the Member States and is consolidated in the Strategic and Programmatic Orientations of the Organization that they have set. Although there is no single definition of technical cooperation in health that is accepted by all external sources, for PAM0 it is the expression of the work that two or more parties carry out jointly in order to reach specific objectives. This process requires not only mutual agreement but also organization, planning. and finaucing and a political involvement, in order to be optimally productive.
