Countries
The list of countries engaging
in IHP+ related processes for strengthening national
health systems continues to grow. Most recently,
Madagascar and Nigeria have joined as full
signatories to the IHP+. Madagascar has agreed to
intensify it's efforts relating to IHP+ issues
and Nigeria has also committed to addressing health
systems bottlenecks within their country.
The inter-agency Country Health Sector Team Meeting
in Lusaka (February
2008) was the first opportunity
to review the progress being made by all IHP+
countries. Most of
the countries provided a Country
Stock Taking Report
that documented the current state of health systems
strengthening, progress and continued challenges and
serve as a forum for participating countries to
present the results of stock-taking exercises and,
in some cases, draft road maps to development of the
compact. As these documents become available, they
will be added/updated in this section. Please check
back for updates.
+ The ten fully inaugurated IHP countries are:
Country-progress:
Burundi completed a joint health sector review
during October 23-31, 2007 and agreed a draft MOU
between partners. A sector coordination group (CPSD)
was created in March 2007 with the mandate to
coordinate technical and financial support necessary
to implement the PNDS, as a tool to achieve the MDGs
in the framework of the country's PRSP. The CPSD,
which is led by the Ministry of Public Health (MPH)
has been meeting virtually every month and has
identified technical working groups that report
regularly to the CPSD.

Ethiopia has produced a draft
Country Compact that is now being finalized. In
addition, they have produced a roadmap for harmonization
and alignment of government and partner programs and
financing towards attaining the health related MDGs
that is nearing completion. The roadmap aims to (1) provide an
update on progress on the national health plan
implementation; (2) develop mechanisms for better
harmonization and alignment for shared
accountability for achieving results, including the
signing of a country-level compact; and (3) outline
critical areas that require support from development
partners to enable Ethiopia to achieve its MDG
targets and the objectives for harmonization and
alignment.

Kenya
Country-progress:
Kenya is finalizing a draft roadmap towards a
compact. For Kenya the added value of a compact
relates to the prioritization and acceleration of
interventions to scale up health outcomes and the
National Health Sector Strategic Plan II (NHSSP II).
In mid-November 2007, the Joint Review Mission
steering committee had a retreat to endorse key
policy actions and their implementation frameworks.
It was suggested that the compact should focus on
the status of implementation, monitoring, and
resource implications.

Country-progress:
Zambia completed a roadmap towards a compact in
November 2007, building on a health MoU (signed in
2006) and a Joint Assistance Strategy for Zambia
(JASZ). In addition, Zambia already has a One Sector
Strategic Plan, Joint Sector Reviews, and Basket
Funding mechanism that allows for flexible funding,
and a focus on local priorities. Zambia will utilize
existing structures for SWAp co-ordination.
Currently, only 10% of donor funds go towards health
systems strengthening - the remaining 90% goes to
priority-disease programs. This will be a challenge
to be addressed while preparing a compact
implementation.
