The mission of WHO is to make the world a safe place for all human beings by promoting health in the world and its vision is a world of sound and healthy human beings. According to the mission and vision of WHO is the well-wisher of all the human beings on the earth. This mission and vision no doubt contribute for the betterment and development of public health and safety improvements in the world. Although the organization is a global one but the vision of the organization is also globalized one. The globalized vision of WHO contributes greatly for the betterment of public health in the whole world and it improve the safety measures in the world. A national Organization can think for a nation and a national government can only target his country but WHO has a greater mission for the whole world.

In the current Pandemic of COVID 19 it was clearly seen that the vision and mission of WHO contributed well in countering the menace of pandemic in the world. The overall approach of WHO towards Corona virus pandemic truly represented the broader vision and wide mission of WHO. Each country addressed the menace of corona virus in her own unique way but the WHO truly showed their leadership role during the years of Pandemic which was direly needed in the whole world. A global leadership and vision were absolutely required in the whole world which was performed by the WHO.
Evaluation of Organization’s Ability to Promote Equal Opportunity
WHO is the representative of all the members of UNO in the world and it is playing its due role in the world in highly successful manner despite having many cultural, social and economic barriers of low economy countries of the world. The majority of world population lives in the low economy countries and majority of the human beings on the earth are facing poverty and scarcity of resources. WHO is trying to reach in the backward countries of the South pole and it also reaches in South America and Asia. Its cooperation with the health systems of poor countries like Pakistan Nepal India and other Asian countries is unprecedented in nature. The WHO is also trying to provide equal opportunities for all the human beings on the Earth. It is also working with developed countries like Japan (Fujita et al., 2020).

In the higher capacities of the Organizational structure mostly it has been witnessed that citizens of poor countries are performing their duties. WHO is one of the superior organizations as for as the promotion of equal opportunities to its member countries. Its work for the eradication of AIDs and HIV, its efforts for the eradication of POLIO and other viral disease from poor and backward regions of the world. Rich countries are not the bigger challenge for WHO while the citizens of poor and backward countries are great challenges for the WHO. WHO Provide assistance and guidance to those people who are living in an abject poverty. The vision of WHO is required to eradicate viral diseases from the poor countries of the world because viral diseases can be threat for any person in the world. The public health system of South African region and in many countries of Asia is very week and these countries need aid help and guidance from WHO which is provided by the world Health Organization.
Assessment on the Impact of Funding Sources
In the international Organizations and in the specialized agencies of UNO major powers of the world provide funding to these organizations. Higher economies like USA and European countries provide huge funding for the WHO. The major focus of WHO sometimes becomes less developed or least developed countries. Least developed economies provide less funding to the world international organizations. Those countries which provide much of the funding of these organization sometime dominate the decision-making process of these organization. This idea is noted by many developing countries of the world.
The importance of funding in organization cannot be ignored because funds are the major sources which run the organizations, funds are the major source which act as the blood of the Organization. Those countries like US which provide much of the funding of WHO and other agencies of the UNO influence the decision-making process of the WHO. In the case of WHO, many rich countries where the health system is up top dated do not need further support and aid of WHO but those countries where abject poverty is rampant always need findings from international Organizations. WHO has the power to realize that diseases in any country can be threat for the whole humanity that’s why it is working on the eradication of disease in all kinds of countries in the world (Impouma et al., 2021).
