WHO-CHOICE (CHOosing Interventions that are Cost-Effective) forms part of the WHO’s Global Programme on Evidence for Health Policy. WHO-CHOICE has been developing the tools and methods for generalized CEA. Its objectives are to: develop a standardised method for cost effectiveness analysis that can be applied to all interventions in different settings; develop and disseminate tools required to assess intervention costs and impacts at the population level; determine the costs and effectiveness of a wide range of health interventions, undertaken by themselves or in combination;
summarize the results in regional databases that will be available on the World Wide Web; assist policy makers and other stakeholders to interpret and use the evidence.
