2. Integration in sectors
3. Common basket for procurement
– ARV done– Consumable in process
Outcomes: 3 ones (1)Outcomes: 3 ones (1) Success because the GOR, leads, owns and coordinates the response to HIV/AIDS
Involvement of civil society Involvement of all GOR institutions concerned
All partners are required to have their workplans developed with and approved by their Rwandan counterparts resulting in…
Better coordination for all partners Equitable geographic coverage (building with GOR, PEPFAR, GF, MAP, others ….)
Funded projects became + operational
Outcomes: 3 ones (2)Outcomes: 3 ones (2)
Egalitarian co-management (North-South) Better coordination and utilization of resources through joint routine planning, monitoring and evaluation of projects Traditional partners have become more flexible (USG, WB, GF (Joint procurement for ARVs, FDA approved and WHO prequalified) Partners working together with improved synergy The activity development and implementation is accelerated due to real collaboration (decision-making) of institutions at all levels
What next forWhat next for harmonization and harmonization and
alignmentalignment Some partners still want the project support
approach. Ongoing discussion for direct budget or sector programme support BUT GoR wants development partners to:
Fully align their assistance to the national planning and budgeting structure.
Coordinate aid into sector wide approaches Support establishment of joint funding
mechanisms and sector budget support.
