Strong and effective regulatory systems are essential to achieve universal health coverage and access to safe, effective and quality medical products. However, many countries do not have a well-functioning, stable and integrated regulatory system due to capacity gaps. The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a five-step capacity building model, a global benchmarking tool and a coalition of stakeholders (CIP) network as a coordination mechanism to strengthen regulatory systems. The CIP network has grown to 33 active members, including donors, development agencies and technical partners. Between 2023 and 2025, it enabled the investment of more than USD 235 million and the coordination of almost 600 technical activities in more than 50 countries. Support takes place through country-led coordination, shared visibility of priorities, continuous communication and accountability tracking. Case studies show the strengthening of regulatory systems, accelerated implementation of institutional development plans and progress in maturity levels.[3]
