1. Introduction Background This Common Management Arrangement sets out arrangements for effective collaboration and coordination within the health sector. It describes interrelationships within the health sector and partners at all levels. It is aimed at ensuring effective achievement of the sector program of work. The CMA recognizes institutional legislation, mandates and roles of all sector partners, the coordination and collaboration arrangements set out in the CMA aim to complement them. The CMA is guided by the sector’s legislation, policies and procedures as well as key developments in the international and national aid architecture as reflected in the following – the Ghana Health Services and Teaching Hospitals Act 525, 1996; the National Health Insurance Act 650, 2003; the Financial Administration Act 654, 2003; and Regulations 2004; the Accounting, Treasury and Financial Rules and Regulations; the sector annual Planning Guidelines; the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness; the Accra Agenda for Action; the Ghana Aid Policy; the Ghana Harmonisation Action Plan ( G-‐HAP ); the Ghana Joint Assistance Strategy ( G-‐JAS ) and the sector Aide Memoire. The Common Management Arrangement III is different from CMA I and II because of the evolving institutional reforms and decentralisation between MOH and its agencies; an increasing need to involve a larger group of stakeholders such as the private sector and civil society in the sector planning, implementation and monitoring processes; and changes in the way DPs work following the signing of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and development of the Ghana Joint Assistance Strategy. CMA III also reflects the changing financing architecture of the health sector -‐ the National Health Insurance Fund becoming a significant funding source; the shift to sector budget support by the health partners rather than the Health Fund, and reduction in the Health Fund relative to earmarked funds. Under the guidance of the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), the Ministry of Health together with other MDAs is preparing a new Sector Medium Term Development Plan 2010-‐2013 (SMTDP), which will replace the current 5-‐year Programme of Work (POW III). The SMTDP will be aligned with the overall National Medium-‐Term Development Policy Framework (2010-‐2013) which has been developed with a view to improving the living standards of people living in Ghana. While the SMTDP sets out the direction for the sector for the next four years in terms of policy and key implementation strategies, the CMA focuses on the collaboration arrangements which need to be in place in the sector for the policies outlined in the SMTDP to be successfully implemented. CMA III will support implementation of the Sector Medium-‐Term Development Plan. All stakeholders that support the sector with significant activities and resources will be expected to comply with the arrangements set out in the CMA. On an annual basis, in line with the 5
