Info

The Inter-‐Agency Leadership Committee convenes four times a year (quarterly) for ongoing governance planning, strategic decision making, and performance oversight, and to discuss current pressing issues. The Committee members develop a shared agenda and periodically evaluate the agenda structure to ensure that there is an emphasis on cross cutting areas best addressed through collaboration of health sector leadership. Core membership of the Committee comprises the Minister of Health, the Deputy Ministers, the Heads of Agencies, and the Chief Director. Other stakeholders (i.e. training and research institutions, development partners, civil society, the private sector, other Ministries, Agency board members, health sector specialists etc) are invited as participants on an ad hoc basis when asked to speak to particular agenda items or support any committee member to make decisions on a specific agenda item. The PPME of MOH is responsible for coordinating agendas and meeting materials, and attends each meeting. The Minister of Health is the standing chairperson; where the Minister is unavailable to act as chairperson a Deputy Minister may stand in. The Chief Director is responsible for oversight of the agenda and works with the PPME to coordinate the meeting schedules and agenda. Sector Working Group Meetings Health is influenced by many factors outside the direct control of the MOH. Progress in health sector objectives depends on how effectively the Ministry engages with its partners. The Sector Working Group provides the forum to achieve effective engagement with all health sector partners. The objectives of Sector Working Group meetings are to: • Conduct a coordinated, coherent and quality policy dialogue among health sector stakeholders. • Provide input to formulation of sector policies, strategies and programs and to ensure coherence with the national development plan. • Participate actively in decision-‐making on the direction of policies and strategies concerning health. • Monitor implementation of the sector program and commitments made by different stakeholders to the realization of the objectives of the health policy and strategic framework. • Monitor resource allocation and utilisation, and integration of external assistance into the overall sector financing plan. • Improve the harmonization and alignment of DPs towards Government budget, priorities, systems and procedures; and • Share information and views and if necessary, agree on sector operational issues. 10
Sector Working Group Meetings will be designed and convened by the PPME Directorate in consultation with sector partners including the Development Partner Lead. Working group meetings are expected to be attended by all key sector partners at senior management and technical staff level. The outputs from Sector Working Group meetings will be collated by the PPME of MOH to feed into the Inter-‐Agency Leadership Committee meetings. Outputs from the other dialogue structures – Inter-‐Agency Coordinating Committees, Business Meetings, Health Summits and decentralized level dialogue will also be collated by the Sector Working Group through the PPME, to the IALC. For maximum efficiency outputs from the Inter-‐Agency Coordinating Committees will also feed directly to the IALC but the Working Group will be kept informed and updated. Sector Working Group Meetings are held monthly at the Ministry of Health and chaired by the Chief Director of the Ministry. If necessary, the Ministry of Health may decide to convene additional sector group meetings. The agenda for Working Group meetings will be broad and will reflect relevant issues in the health sector with an objective to improving health outcomes. Inter-‐ Sectoral collaboration at the national and decentralised levels will also be strengthened through participation in each other’s relevant activities including sector reviews. Inter-‐Agency Coordinating Committees The Inter-‐Agency Coordinating Committees (ICCs) provide the platform for discussing technical issues on specific themes/diseases. To ensure their effectiveness: • The Ministry of Health will agree with stakeholders on which ICC’s will be in operation at any point in time – the aim will be to ensure that groups cover all relevant themes and/or diseases while maintaining a manageable number of groups. • Sector agencies and partners engaged in or interested in a particular theme/disease will participate in that group. • The structures for meetings – the Chair; frequency; format; location; planned outputs; will be agreed by participants. • Outputs from ICC meetings will feed into the monthly Sector Working Group meetings -‐ short reports will be prepared and presented at the SWG meeting. The Global Fund Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) will work closely with the Inter-‐ Agency Coordinating Committees on its three focal diseases – HIV/AIDS; TB and Malaria, and its program managers will participate actively in the relevant ICCs and the Sector Working Group. The CCM will also be broadened to include all relevant agencies and stakeholders, including the NHIA and Chairs of relevant groups on its three thematic areas. 11
