Expected ResultsProgressOverall ResultsFurther Details

iconCommitments are documented and mutually agreed.

 tick The World Bank signed national IHP+ Compacts in Ethiopia, Mali, Mozambique and Nepal, as well as equivalent agreements in Burundi and Niger.

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

 tick The World Bank disburses directly to all of the participating country Governments – but in Djibouti this is not reported on the national health sector budget. The WB provides some Technical Assistance (through trust funds or consultancies); the amount is small (in comparison to total health sector disbursements), and difficult to capture – so estimates are reported (although these may be under-reported). WB support to the health sector is fully coordinated with other partners and in line with the national health strategy.

iconFunding commitments are long-term.

 tick In CY05 the Niger Public Expenditure Reform Credit made up approximately 60% of total health sector disbursements; funds for this work were delivered in a single tranche in CY05, in order to synchronize WB funding with country budget cycle, while other projects were multi-year.

iconFunds are disbursed predictably, as committed.

 tick In Ethiopia, delays in disbursement were noted in CY05 due to i) low priority accorded to the health sector in general at regional and woreda levels; and ii) fragmented contribution to the sector which undermines effective allocation of resources. A memorandum of understanding was signed last year to harmonize donor resources and requirements.

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

 cross WB use of national procurement systems varies between countries and between projects; where systems are weak (eg. Burundi, DRC), WB supports capacity development of country procurement systems. PFM systems are used in all countries except DRC, Djibouti and Nigeria, where the CPIA scores are less than the 3.5 deemed sufficient to use. No PIUs were reported in 6 countries. Djibouti reported a decrease in use of PIUs, and 3 countries reported static or increasing use of PIUs. It was noted that some PIUs are established at the request of governments.

iconResources are being managed for Development Results.

 tick In Djibouti the WB uses national HIS data for monitoring and evaluation purposes. In DRC, donors use their own performance assessment frameworks, due to weak national systems and ongoing development of donor coordination, though some indicators are the same as national indicators. In Nigeria, national performance assessment frameworks are the foundation of any project results frameworks – but on a project by project basis, the WB does compliment national frameworks with additional information for project-specific results frameworks.

iconMutual accountability is being demonstrated.

 tick The WB reported participating in mutual assessments (eg through joint working groups, mid-term reviews, JARs) in all countries. In Mali partners have increased the amount of joint missions from approximately 25% in CY05 to about 50% in CY09. In Burkina Faso, Djibouti and Nigeria the WB reported participating in mutual accountability mechanisms, whereas the governments of these countries reported that none existed. This highlights an interesting point of interpretation that merits further consideration.

iconCivil Society actively engaged.

 arrow The WB does not provide funds directly to NGOs/CS. However, in some cases, there is a formal agreement with the Government that they will engage CS and contract them for specific work under the project. Additionally, the WB is very supportive of CS engagement in health sector activities, such as participation in JANS and development partner fora.
