Expected ResultsProgressOverall ResultsFurther Details

iconCommitments are documented and mutually agreed.

tick The Netherlands has signed national Compacts in Ethiopia, Mali and Mozambique. Burkina Faso signed the Global IHP+ compact in May 2010 during the WHA. The national compact with donors has not yet been launched.

iconSupport is based on country plans & strategies, including to strengthen Health Systems.

cross Support in all countries is based on country plans though not all is 'on budget'. Burkina Faso, the basket funding mechanism ‘PADS’ is not visible in the health budget and this impacts negatively on the overall rating. Similarly in Mali, the MDG-5 acceleration program (part of sector plan) was not included as it occurred late in 2009, when the national budget was already published. The proportion of aid going to PBAs diminished because of additional resources made available to CSOs.

iconFunding commitments are long-term.

tick In all 4 countries, all of the Netherland's health sector aid is routinely committed for at least 3 years.

iconFunds are disbursed predictably, as committed.

tick In all 4 countries, all health sector aid is routinely disbursed predictably, as committed. In fact, in Burkina Faso disbursements in the health sector are above 100%, due to high absorption rate as well as timely reporting by MoH of progress and audits.

iconCountry systems for procurement & public financial management are used & strengthened.

tick The Netherlands does not earmark funds for procurement in any of the 4 countries. All Netherlands support uses national PFM systems and there are no PIUs in any of the 4 countries.

iconResources are being managed for Development Results.

tick The Netherlands has used national performance assessment frameworks in all countries where one exists. In Ethiopia, the PAF of the Annual Plan along with the Annual Report of the FMOH is used. In Mali a common set of indicators was agreed and used in the annual reviews. In Mozambique, there is a Joint Annual Review with a Common Performance Assessment Framework. In 2009, there was no framework in Burkina Faso.

iconMutual accountability is being demonstrated.

tick In Burkina Faso, the Netherlands supported the first health sector review in March 2010. In Ethiopia, Netherlands participated in the JAR, but aid effectiveness was not discussed. In Mali, the Netherlands as lead donor in 2009, encouraged the use of a commonly agreed M&E framework in the Annual Review for the first time. Donor commitments were included, although IHP+ commitments were not yet part of this.

iconCivil Society actively engaged.

tick The Netherlands played a key role in supporting the inclusion of Civil Society partners in the Development Partners Group in Mali, Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Ethiopia, as well as in the health reviews. In Burkina Faso, the MoH included CSOs not only in planning but also implementation. Through the unearmarked basket-funding of the Netherlands, the MoH has been able to contract local NGOs to support activities in remote areas to accelerate the achievement of health MDGs. In Ethiopia funding has been increasingly channeled through NGOs.
