The Regional HRH goals are inspired on the 5 Toronto challenges, which were transformed into 20 measurable goals: some quantitative, others qualitative. The objective of this operation was to monitor the agreements achieved in Toronto by the countries in the Region. PAHO-WHO elaborated a “Handbook for Baseline studies” of the 20 goals, where the Toronto Challenges are described, the sense or rationale for the goals and key terms are defined to create uniform concepts used for data collection. Additionally, the indicator, formula and definition are included where certain concept elements are described, and finally, the sources where data may be obtained. (AU)
