Business Meetings Business meetings take place three times a year. One of them is in conjunction with the April health summit and the two others are in August and November. Business meetings are attended by the key sector partners at senior management and technical level, and are chaired by the Ministries of Health and MOFEP. Business Meetings are open and other interested stakeholders can attend as observers. Business Meetings focus on: • Stakeholder commitments to implementation of the sector program. • Current policy issues relevant to the sector. • Budget updates and disbursement schedules of Government and Development Partners. The business meeting during the April health summit will assess the sector Performance Assessment Framework (PAF) to feed into the MDBS dialogue. The second business meeting in August will review the sector’s progress from the beginning of the year to date and provide an opportunity to table new issues. The business meeting in November shall be devoted to planning and budgeting. The meeting will discuss and agree on health sector plans and associated budget for the ensuing year. It will also agree on indicators for the PAF based on the sector program that was presented and discussed. An Aide Memoire will be signed by the Ministry of Health and representatives of Development Partners that records the decisions taken during the business meeting. Follow-‐up committees will be established at the end of each meeting to work with the PPME of MOH to ensure implementation of recommendations from Aide Memoire. The PPME will report back to the next business meeting on progress with implementation of each action and, if any action is outstanding, the agency/ies responsible for implementation, their plan and timeline for action. Health Summit The Health summit takes place once a year in April. All key sector partners and health sector stakeholders will participate in the health summit. Summits are implemented as follows: The Health Summit provides the forum to discuss the results of the annual sector performance review (including the assessment of the sector performance appraisal framework). • Based on the health sector program monitoring framework, a holistic assessment of sector performance will be conducted on an annual basis to feed into reviews at the sector and national level. • The content of summit will be prepared by a designated committee of representatives from the Ministry of Health and its agencies, NHIA, civil society and DPs. 12
• Reports and presentations from the summit will be made public on the Ministry of Health website. Decentralised Level Dialogue The Ministry of Health in conjunction with the Ghana Health Service will coordinate sector dialogue at the decentralized level until such a time that the District Assemblies assume responsibility for coordination and planning of district health services through their respective health directorates. The structures for engagement at the decentralized level will be strengthened and modalities will be put in place to ensure that outputs from the dialogue feed into the dialogue at the national level. In the short-‐term, District Health Directors will coordinate all the sector players and engagement at the district level and report to the District Assembly. Engagement at the decentralized level will include: • Quarterly stakeholder meetings at the district level involving all contributors to district health services, together with representatives from the District Assembly. All service providers will provide quarterly information on agreed indicators and the district health management teams will coordinate and consolidate the information. Progress on performance will be discussed and reasons for non-‐performance analysed • GHS will hold annual district, regional and national fora for all managers of the different levels and commissioned health facilities to discuss strategic and operational issues • Bi-‐annual regional meetings will be held to strengthen regional collaboration. Engagement with the Private Sector and Civil Society The Ministry of Health has set up a Private Sector Unit under the PPME Directorate and developed a Private Health Sector Policy with broad policy objectives to facilitate participation of the private sector in health service provision and to establish a framework for partnership and collaboration between the private and public health sectors. To achieve this: • The private sector and civil society will be involved in policy development, planning, implementation, reviews, monitoring and evaluation of health sector activities at all levels – national, regional, district and sub-‐district. • The Ministry will implement strategies for reaching out to private sector and civil society, to make them aware of the various dialogue platforms and to ensure their participation in relevant ones • The Ministry will engage collectively with the private sector and civil society through the emerging coalition of private health sector bodies and the Coalition of NGOs in the Health Sector, and with the various bodies based on their respective strengths – communication, training, advocacy etc. 13
