Countries

The list of countries engaging in IHP+ related processes for strengthening national health systems continues to grow. Most recently, Uganda and Rwanda have joined as full signatories to the IHP+.

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 thirteen fully inaugurated IHP countries are:

Burundi

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

Country-progress:
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.
