within which they have <strong>to</strong> make and implement international development policies. One way<br />
<strong>of</strong> addressing this bottleneck might be <strong>to</strong> draw up creative accountability frameworks that<br />
clearly spell out the commitments and responsibilities <strong>of</strong> each partner, both shared and<br />
individual, including the role <strong>of</strong> international civil society, as well as emphasise the<br />
importance <strong>of</strong> transparency and accountability not only on the part <strong>of</strong> the donor country<br />
governance structure but also <strong>to</strong> <strong>Nigeria</strong>‘s parliamentary structure. Multi-year funding<br />
commitments by donors that help remove pressure for quick spending on quick-fix solutions<br />
might also be helpful. There will be need <strong>to</strong> strengthen predictability and draw up templates<br />
for common assessment <strong>to</strong>ols and reports.<br />
General Conclusion<br />
The progress being made by the DRGs fund expenditure mechanism in terms <strong>of</strong> planning,<br />
implementation and evaluation is a model that must be sustained if the nation aims <strong>to</strong> exit<br />
the level <strong>of</strong> developing country and become one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
most industrialised nations by the year 2020, just five years after the MDG target year <strong>of</strong><br />
2015.<br />
Generally, the most efficient<br />
implementation mechanism is the<br />
CGS, for many reasons (see box). Any<br />
mechanism that leverages more funds<br />
<strong>to</strong>wards achieving the MDGs,<br />
especially if there is the added bonus<br />
<strong>of</strong> community participation and<br />
ownership, should be encouraged. This<br />
Features CGS Implementation:<br />
Community Participation<br />
Leveraging <strong>of</strong> 50% matching funds<br />
Full cooperation from state and local governments in<br />
provision <strong>of</strong> enabling environment, staffing, etc.<br />
More transparent implementation<br />
M&E in built in the MoU<br />
OSSAP can withdraw its funds in the event <strong>of</strong> breach <strong>of</strong><br />
terms <strong>of</strong> the MoU<br />
is more so if it also comes with some capacity building/skills enhancement, as classically<br />
illustrated in the Midwifery Service Scheme <strong>of</strong> the NPHCDA.<br />
