MULTI-COUNTRY WORKSHOP TO STRENGTHEN RESULTS AND

ACCOUNTABILITY

SUMMARY – WORKSHOP REPORT

Manila, Philippines, March 19-21 2011

World Health Organization

____________________________________________________________

Executive Summary

On 19-21 March, delegations from seven Eastern Asian countries (China & Mongolia), South-

Eastern Asian countries (Cambodia, Lao, Philippines and Viet Nam) and Papua New Guinea,

supported by a range of country, regional and global partners1*, met in Manila, Philippines to

develop country roadmaps to strengthen national accountability and action for improving

women’s and children’s health. The Manila workshop, one in a series of regional workshops

that will ultimately cover 75 priority countries, is part of the action plan for implementing the

recommendations of the Commission on Information and Accountability for Women’s and

Children’s Health. The Commission, which issued its final report in May 2011, outlined

recommendations in three areas: better tracking of results, better tracking of resources, and

better oversight of results and resources, nationally and globally.

The country delegations who participated in the “Multi-country workshop to strengthen results

and accountability for women’s and children’s health”, organized by WHO and partners1,

assessed their current situations and developed draft roadmaps for enhancing accountability

in seven key areas for action: monitoring of results, tracking resources, civil registration and

vital statistics, maternal death reviews, strengthening the use of information and

communication technology (ICT), strengthening national mechanisms for review and

accountability, and advocacy for accountability and action.

A Country Accountability Framework tool, with suggested criteria for progress in each of these

seven areas, was used by the delegations to identify strengths and weaknesses and define

appropriate actions for their country.

The objectives of the CAF tool are:

1. To provide an overview of the current status of the different components of a country

accountability framework for the health sector, with a focus on Reproductive

Maternal Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH);

2. To lay the foundation for the development of a roadmap with specific activities to

implement/strengthen the country accountability;

Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), International Telecommunication

Union (ITU), International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) East and Southeast Asia and Oceania Region, Korea Foundation

Family Welfare Association, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) APRO, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines,

Viet Nam, UNICEF Mongolia, Philippines, and World Vision Development Foundation.

2

In addition, each delegation made a start with the development of a roadmap to implement

the accountability framework according to their specific needs and priorities.

As a next step, a national stakeholders workshop is to be organized where the results of the

assessment and draft roadmap will be presented to a broader group of stakeholders resulting

in a final roadmap 2012-2015, which in every country will build upon and strengthen existing

processes. It should also form the basis for the identification of a set of priority activities that

can be implemented in 2012-13.

Background

In May 2011, the Commission on Information and Accountability for Women's and Children's

Health (COIA) delivered its ten recommendations to strengthen accountability for resources

and results 2. The Commission's work draws on the IHP+ work on monitoring and evaluation3,

and endorses the principles of national leadership and ownership of results, strengthening

country capacity in monitoring, evaluation and review, and reducing the reporting burden.

Accountability has been defined by the COIA as a cyclical process of monitoring, review and

action, linking accountability for resources to results.

A multi-stakeholder process, including a consultation in July 2011 resulted in the translation of

the recommendations into a common strategic work plan. The work-plan identifies priority

areas of focus for strengthening country accountability based on these 10 key

recommendations. These include:

1) Monitoring of results

2) Strengthening use of ICT

3) Resource tracking

4) Birth and death registration,

5) Maternal death review and surveillance

6) National mechanisms for reviews and accountability

7) Advocacy/action.

The overall aim of the workshop was for countries to undertake a situation analysis and to

define priorities within these activities. The proposal was for them to then develop a four year

roadmap for strengthening accountability with a budget allowing catalytic action in countries.

The aim is to build on what ongoing activities, mechanisms and processes in -country,

following the IHP+ approach for harmonization and alignment.

Objective

The overall objective of the workshop was to bring together key stakeholders from ministries

of health, parliamentarians and the partner community to discuss and develop country

roadmaps to further enhance results and accountability for women's and children's health in

particular and the health sector as a whole. Specific objectives included:

2 Keeping promises, measuring results, Every Woman Every Child. Commission on Information and Accountability for Women's

and Children's Health 3 Monitoring, Evaluation and Review of National Health Strategies. A country platform for information and accountability. WHO,

Geneva 2001. ( http://www.who.int/healthinfo/country_monitoring_evaluation/1085_IER_131011_web.pdf )

3

1. Orient key stakeholders about the context and implications of the recommendations of the

Commission on Information and Accountability for Women's and Children's Health.

2. Assess the current situation in terms of progress and plans, opportunities and challenges

for implementing the recommendations, and identity priority actions.

3. Building on existing plans and frameworks, develop a country roadmap for enhancing

accountability with costed activities for the next 4 years outlining how the gaps and

priorities will be addressed and implemented.

4. Establish a shared understanding of the work required and the roles and responsibilities of

each partner to implement the roadmap.

Outputs

The expected outputs from this workshop are:

1. Increased awareness and understanding by country and regional stakeholders of the

Commission recommendations and opportunities/challenges for country

implementation;

2. A completed self-assessment and a proposed 4-year accountability roadmap for each

country, identifying the priority actions to be presented and finalized in a national

stakeholder workshop;

3. Shared understanding of the work required and the roles and responsibilities of all

stakeholders in implementing the roadmap and a set of concrete next steps, including

technical assistance requirements.

Participants

Seven countries were invited to participate in the workshop and included: Cambodia, China,

Lao PDR, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Mongolia and Viet Nam A total of 74 participants

attended the workshop. Annex 1 includes the list of participants.

Each country team consisted of key constituents from each of the seven countries. These

included representatives from the Ministry of Health (RMNCH, planning, monitoring and

evaluation, health systems and financing), civil society organizations, UN/H4 agencies, bilateral

partners and donors among others.

Regional and country level partners were very well represented and included participants from:

Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW), UN Economic and Social

Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA),

International Telecommunication Union (ITU), International Planned Parenthood Federation

(IPPF), Korea Foundation for International Care (KOFIH), Save the Children (Viet Nam), the

Mongolian Welfare Association, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) APRO, Lao, Mongolia,

Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Viet Nam, UNICEF Mongolia, Philippines, World Vision

Development Foundation.

The workshop was hosted by the government of the Philippines, facilitated and organized by

the Regional Office for the Western Pacific.

Sessions

The workshop sessions were organized along the seven key areas of focus of the results and

accountability, as identified by the Commission on Information and Accountability for

4

Women’s and Children’s Health (the agenda for the workshop is in Annex 2). These covered

the following:

I. Introduction, objectives and framework

II. Country Practices: Country accountability framework

1. Maternal death surveillance and response (MDSR) and quality of care assessment

2. Monitoring of results

3. Civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS)

4. Innovation through the use of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT)

5. Resource tracking

6. National review mechanisms

7. Advocacy and accountability

III.Country Accountability Framework: Roadmaps and Next steps

Each of the seven sessions for country practices were organized in three parts:

1. Plenary presentation and country presentation

2. Country group work

3. Country report to plenary

The first consisted of a brief introductory presentation highlighting the goal of the topic area,

the current situation, the main gaps and the key features of success. This was then followed by

a short country perspective relating to the specific topic area. The country perspective focused

on the current situation in country, the main weaknesses and gaps, the needs and priority

activities to address the gaps.

Country teams were then invited to convene in break-out rooms with one or two facilitators,

including global and regional partners, to discuss and work on the situation analysis and

propose possible action for each of the 7 areas listed above using the “Self- Assessment Tool

for planning and implementing the Country Accountability Framework.” This tool can be

found at the following link www.who.int/woman_child_accountability.

For each item included in the assessment tool, a range of possible scenarios is provided

allowing for objective and quantitative ratings. Each group was able to provide a consensus

score for each item and complete the excel sheet provided. Two or three countries were then

invited to report back on their discussions and the main highlights.

The last part of the workshop focused on the review and finalization of their country situation

assessment and priority actions for the accountability roadmap.

Results

Each country team completed a self-assessment of the current situation in their respective

countries in the 7 priority areas of focus of the workshop, including review and planning

processes, monitoring of results, tracking resources, birth and death registration, maternal

death surveillance and response, eHealth and innovation, and advocacy for accountability and

action. Items within each of the sections in the tool were scored using a Likert-type scale and

an overall score was generated for each section. Please find the overall results by country in

5

the priority areas in Annex 3. While participants were asked to score themselves in the priority

areas, the purpose of the scoring was less as an absolute measure of performance but more as

an indicative measure of areas requiring further action. These scores are a self-assessment

subject to change when presented to other stakeholders at the national workshops. Based on

the scoring of the priority areas and the situational analysis, a scorecard was generated for

each country. These scorecards are be posted on www.who.int/woman_child_accountability.

In addition, the teams were asked to initiate the development of a roadmap to implement the

accountability framework according to their specific needs and priorities. This initial self-

assessment round serves as a spring board for a national stakeholder workshop where all

relevant partners in the country would meet to discuss and finalize the results, situational

analysis and priority actions proposed in the initial self-assessment.

Analysis of the results show that while country-specific variations exist in the contextual

factors that negatively affect accountability for women’s and children’s health, there are some

factors that seem to be common across the board. These factors are mentioned below with

some country-specific highlights:

Next Steps

Country participants were tasked to convene a national stakeholders workshop to present the

results of the assessment, get feedback and agreement on the contextual analysis, and discuss

priority setting. The national stakeholder workshop would produce a completed roadmap,

which has to be submitted to WHO. Catalytic funding for $250,000 is available to all countries

to support priority activities. Other in-country resources would need to be mobilized for the

key priority actions.

The assessment and the roadmap will be published on the Accountability for Women's and

Children's Health website to ensure transparency. Countries should also ensure the publication

of the assessment and roadmap in their ministry of health website.

Finally, the most difficult and yet the most important task would be to actually implement the

tasks set forth in the roadmap.
