Monitoring and Evaluation<br />
A functional and fairly established system for reviewing sector-wide performance has<br />
been in place since the inception <strong>of</strong> the first 5YPOW. MOH-Partners have agreed sectorwide<br />
indicators, a timetable and process for measuring sector-wide performance. The<br />
current system however fails to demonstrate clearly the performance <strong>of</strong> agencies and<br />
other subsystems <strong>of</strong> the health sector such as district, regional and hospital subsystems<br />
even though these sub systems have been accredited to be BMCs. New demands for<br />
demonstrating progress towards addressing the health sector objective <strong>of</strong> bridging the<br />
inequality gaps coupled with emerging information needs derived from the MDBS/PRSC<br />
process require that we revisit aspects <strong>of</strong> the monitoring and evaluation. The priority<br />
activities for <strong>2005</strong> would include:<br />
• Review sector- wide indicators to include poverty, equity, and productivity and cost<br />
effectiveness indicators for possible adoption as part <strong>of</strong> the next five year program <strong>of</strong><br />
work<br />
• Harmonize MDBS/PRSC processes, indicators and timetable with the Sector-wide<br />
monitoring and evaluation framework<br />
• Coordinate the review <strong>of</strong> the 2004 <strong>Programme</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Work</strong><br />
• Develop an agenda for evaluations and commission these evaluations<br />
• Conduct an environmental analysis towards the preparation <strong>of</strong> the next 5YPOW<br />
• Introduce a system <strong>of</strong> league tables on performance<br />
• Develop indicators for decentralization<br />

Broad Responsibility for Performance<br />
The <strong>2005</strong> POW would be implemented within the framework <strong>of</strong> the laws establishing the<br />
<strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> and its Agencies and also the Common Management Arrangements<br />
(CMA). For that reason, achieving the objectives and outputs in this POW would be the<br />
joint responsibility <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Ministry</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong>, Ghana <strong>Health</strong> Service, Teaching Hospitals,<br />
Statutory Bodies and Development Partners. It recognises the complementary roles <strong>of</strong> the<br />
public and private sectors as well as individuals and communities in the delivery <strong>of</strong><br />
quality health services. The involvement and support <strong>of</strong> communities and other<br />
stakeholders in health would be critical for effective implementation.<br />
