Expected ResultsProgressOverall ResultsFurther Details

iconCommitments are documented and mutually agreed.

arrow Spain has signed compacts in Mali, Ethiopia and Mozambique and will sign a country compact in Niger in 2011.

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

tick A wide range of support is being provided based on country plans e.g. in the form of financial support to the MDG fund in Ethiopia (2009) and the Common Fund for Health in Mali. Programme based support is increasing but below target. Spain supports SWAP in Mozambique since 2000, mainly through participation in technical working groups and technical assistance. In Ethiopia support to the health sector was organised through collaboration with NGOs, WHO and UNICEF projects, the MDG Fund and other bilateral projects with the government.

iconFunding commitments are long-term.

cross There is a general trend towards long-term commitments, e.g. in Ethiopia and Mali. There was a decrease in long-term support to Mozambique but Spain continues its support to the National Health Strategies and Plans (PESS) and there are plans for long-term support to PROSAUDE. In Niger commitments have not been long-term due to the unstable political situation that only allows short-term planning.

iconFunds are disbursed predictably, as committed.

cross There has been a drop in funds being disbursed as committed in Ethiopia and Niger, but the overall performance is still on a fairly high level at around 79%.

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

tick Spain provided 100% of procurement through national systems in Ethiopia but it is not possible to specify the contribution as it was through a pooled funding mechanism (MDG Fund). In Mozambique the contribution of health sector aid that uses public financial management systems has decreased. There was no data available for Niger.

iconResources are being managed for Development Results.

arrow National performance assessment frameworks are being used in all countries, except for Niger.

iconMutual accountability is being demonstrated.

arrow Joint reviews, missions and annual assessments were carried out in Ethiopia and Mozambique. Measures on aid effectiveness are not yet included. In Mali respective procedures are in place but since Spain is active only through a silent partnership with Netherlands it is not participating directly. Spain will sign the country compact in Niger in 2011 and will take part in joint reviews in the future.

iconCivil Society actively engaged.

arrow Support to civil society is focusing on strengthening the health systems, the provision of care, and respectively to ensure alignment and harmonization of activities undertaken by NGOs/CS active in the health sector. There is general support towards increasing the involvement of CSOs in planning mechanisms.

Agency Profile

Quality of health aid and capacity building are central points of the Spanish Cooperation. In line with aid effectiveness commitments and the principles of the EU Global Health Communication, Spain aims at allocating the major part of health aid to strengthening national health systems, mainly through Sector Budget Support.
