Abstract
The first Work Plan of the Global Network of WHO Collaborating Centers (CCs) in
Occupational Health was initiated in November 2001, following input of the CCs to
choose the 15 priority areas of work for the period 2001-2005. This article reflects upon
the successes and limitations of the Work Plan, describes some of the products, and
points out some ‘lessons learned’ that were incorporated into the 2006 - 2010 Work
Plan that was adopted by the CCs at the Seventh Network Meeting in Stresa, Italy, in
June 2006.
All 64 Collaborating Centers, three non-governmental organizations (International
Commission on Occupational Health, International Occupational Hygiene Association
and the International Ergonomics Association) and the International Labor Organization
contributed 350 projects in the priority areas of the 2001-2006 Work Plan. An
evaluation of the success of the Work Plan concluded that the working together of the
CCs in a common Work Plan was successful and beneficial to nations and regions, and
globally.
