no progress or regression

*Performance is assessed in only Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Uganda. Budget support is also not counted. The rating may therefore not fully reflect progress, and could be an underestimate.

This additional information is reported by the Organisation to explain what specific actions it is taking to implement its IHP+ commitments to the 8 Expected Results, or to qualify its measures of progress. The EC has signed compacts in all countries were they exist.
In Burundi, EC funding is registered in the national budget but not in the specific budget of the MoH. An overview of external health financing has been prepared in the framework of health sector coordination. In DRC, a MTEF template was prepared and the inclusion of all major sector programmes in the 2012 budget is expected. In Mozambique, all support is on-budget. In Nigeria, it is expected that the Nationsal Health Accounts by the Federal Minitry of Health will in future capture all EC funding for health.
In DRC all programmes are multi-year. In Burundi,, EC support ranges from 1 to 5 years but is usually 2 to 3 years. In Nigeria, EC support exists since 2002.

SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO ACHIEVE RESULTS
In Mozambique, all funds use national systems. In Nigeria and DRC, procurement takes place using European Development Fund (EDF) procedures. In DRC, EDF procedures are applied, but funds are channelled through national fiduciary organizations.
In DRC, the national framework for monitoring and evaluation is used. In Burundi, the performance evaluation framework is not applied at national level. For Nigeria, the National Strategic Health Development Plan results framework forms the basis of M&E.
In Burundi and Nigeria, joint annual reviews are organized. In Nigeria, every effort is made to ensure joint monitoring of support to polio eradication. However for the routine immunisation component of the action this was less practiced. Plans are in place to apply mutual assessments under the 10th EDF.
The EC supports civil society in all four countries either through direct funding or mentoring.
HOW TO INTERPRET THIS SCORECARD Expected Results reflect key commitments that were made by IHP+ signatories in the IHP+ Global Compact. Each expected result has corresponding standard performance measures to track progress over time. The progress of all agencies is rated against these mutually agreed expectations. Rating symbols illustrate whether the Agency has achieved , is working towards , or has not achieved its targets over the most recent annual reporting cycle. Details of these independent assessments undertaken by the IHP+Results Consortium can be found online in the North-South Observatory for IHP+Results (www.ihpresults.net). Target describes the aggregate data on which the Rating is based, with a comparison of 2011 and baseline performance. Overall Progress shows a two-bar graph with the aggregate data for the agency in question across all the countries for which health sector support has been reported. In most cases, the agreed target for each standard performance measure (SPM) is shown as a red line. Scorecard ratings are aggregates of performance across a number of countries. Aggregates might hide variations in the agency's performance. Disaggregated data can be found at www.ihpresults.net NB: The ratings presented here are based on self-reported data. IHP+Results has taken steps to triangulate this data using other sources. More details are vailable at www.ihpresults.net

All funding is disbursed at country level. There are exchange rate fluctuations between â‚Ź transfers to in-country US $ accounts.
