Expected ResultsProgressOverall ResultsFurther Details

iconCommitments are documented and mutually agreed.

tick While being an active participant in any compact development, WHO is also making efforts to increase alignment of the WHO country cooperation strategies (CCS) and biennial work plans with national health plans: all CCS's have been reviewed for their fit with national health plans; CCS's are now being mapped against the WHO Medium Term Strategic Plan (MTSP). From 2012, WHO country budgets are expected to better reflect country priorities.

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

arrow Government policy to reflect funding in the national budget may affect ratings. The timely presentation of WHO's biennial budget to the MoH may also affect inclusion in the national budget. Technical cooperation, capacity building & normative guidance are main areas of WHO work including support to aid effectiveness processes. The indicators do not capture all WHO efforts in these areas, although they are reflected in WHO's high participation in coordinated programmes for capacity development and in programme based approaches.

iconFunding commitments are long-term.

cross Note that answers refer to the regular budget's biennial cycle only. The longer term commitments of the WHO Medium Term Strategic Plan are projections and their share of voluntary contributions varies. Also note that reported figures for health sector aid from WHO have variously included or excluded WHO office and staff costs (which are difficult to disentangle), despite efforts to use a consistent definition. Technical staff in WHO country offices are part of WHO's technical cooperation and should be included in aid figures.

iconFunds are disbursed predictably, as committed.

tick The current administration of WHO’s biennial budget cycle made it difficult to answer questions on annual disbursements. The main reason for problems with predictable funding lies in the unpredictable funding to WHO (which includes a high percentage from Voluntary Contributions).

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

cross WHO central procurement is used for most goods for reasons of economies of scale of bulk purchasing and of better quality assurance. Local procurement systems are used to purchase local goods. WHO does not use parallel implementation units, but manages most of its funding at country level directly. The exception is Direct Financial Contributions (estimated at 13% of the WHO budget) that use national systems for procurement and PFM.

iconResources are being managed for Development Results.

tick All offices reported using national performance assessment frameworks where they exist. WHO sometimes conducts parallel assessment processes (e.g. disease-specific) in addition to national reviews. WHO is working to improve internal routine monitoring of aid effectiveness; expected to be facilitated by the transition to the WHO-wide General Management System (in 2011).

iconMutual accountability is being demonstrated.

arrow Around half of the WHO country offices reported mutual accountability exercises in which the government and partners engage, but they noted that the process is still at an initial stage in practically all countries.

iconCivil Society actively engaged.

arrow Most WHO country offices are involved in active support, both financial and technical, to a variety of Civil Society initiatives.
