iconCommitments are documented and mutually agreed.

tick In Mozambique Norway has signed the IHP+ compact, but ended its support to the health sector in 2008 when Norway decided to increase its contribution to general budget support and concentrate sector support on two sectors (energy and fishery). Norway is however following the health sector dialogue as closely as the embassy’s resources permits and still supports UNFPA and Norwegian and national CSOs. In Nigeria, Norway works through a delegated partnership with DFID in the area of maternal and child health in 4 states of Northern Nigeria.

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

cross Norwegian health aid for Nigeria is being disbursed by DFID. The MNCH programme is aligned with Nigeria's National Health Strategic Development Plan. DFID’s Nigeria disbursements are not using national systems due to the high-risk environment. In Mozambique Norway moved from sector budget support to general budget support in 2008.

iconFunding commitments are long-term.

tick In Mozambique Norway moved from sector budget support to increased general budget support in 2008. The majority of Norway’s funding commitments are long-term, e.g. the five-year long MNCH program.

iconFunds are disbursed predictably, as committed.

tick Norway has disbursed its health sector aid as planned.

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

cross Norway's funding through sector budget support and general budget support in Mozambique uses national procurement systems; other funding through UNFPA and civil society does not. Due to the nature of SBS/GBS, it is not possible to specify the amounts of the contributions – but we have used the percentage using systems, as a proportion of Norway's overall health aid.

iconResources are being managed for Development Results.

tick Norway uses the national Performance Assessment Framework (PAF) in Mozambique. In 2009, there was no PAF in place, so Norway was unable to record a positive response on this SPM in Nigeria (hence the N/A rating).

iconMutual accountability is being demonstrated.

none Norway is using joint accountability processes set up for the General Budget Support. This involves Joint Annual Reviews of government and partner performance. Due to the move to budget support Norway reported that the use of national mutual accountability processes in health was not applicable in 2009 in Mozambique. Norway had moved from sector budget support to general budget support in 2008, and no longer participates in health policy planning processes. In Nigeria, no mutual accountability process was in place in 2009.

iconCivil Society actively engaged.

tick Financial and other support to CSOs is being provided, e.g. in Nigeria the MNCH program supports CSOs at the federal and state level. One of these is the Health Reform Foundation of Nigeria (HERFON), a federation of health change agents that is actively engaged in policy debate throughout the country. This organisation has been one of the key agents behind the health bill.

Agency Profile

Norway provides approximately 13% of its total ODA to health. The majority is channeled through multilateral agencies. Priority areas for support are women’s and children’s health in poor countries, together with efforts to increase all stakeholders funding, efficiency and result orientation to reach the health MDGs.
