OVERALL PROGRESS
An IHP+ Country Compact or equivalent has been signed by the agency in 27% of IHP+ countries where they exist. Target = 100%.
Commitments are documented and mutually agreed.
Ethiopia
100% 2005/7 2011
Insufficient data has been provided to enable a rating for the health sector aid that was reported by the agency on national health sector budgets.
85% 2005/7 2011
Support is based in country plans and strategies, including to strengthen Health Systems.
The capacity development that was provided by the agency through coordinated programmes was deemed not applicable to GAVI.
50% 2005/7 2011
In 2011 100% of health sector aid was provided by the agency through programme based approaches - no change from 100%. Target = 66%.
NO DATA
NO DATA NO DATA
66% 2005/7 2011 90%
In 2011 97% of health sector aid was provided by the agency through multi-year commitments - an increase from 96%. Target = 90%.
Funding commitments are long-term.
2005/7 2011
71% In 2011 82% of health sector aid disbursements provided by the agency were released according to agreed schedules - an increase from 0% in 2005. Target = 71%.
Funds are disbursed predictably, as committed.
*
In 2011 0% of health sector aid provided by the agency used country procurement systems - no change from 0.3%. Target = 33.0% reduction in aid not using procurement systems (with ≥ 80% using country systems).
2005/7 2011
80% 2005/7 2011
Country systems for procurement and public financial management are used and strengthened.
Insufficient data has been provided to enable a rating for the health sector aid provided by the agency that used national public financial management systems.
80% 2005/7 2011
In 2011 the stock of parallel project implementation units (PIUs) used by the agency in the surveyed countries was 0.0 - no change from 0.0. Target = 66% reduction in stock of PIUs.
2005/7 2011
Resources are being managed for Development Results.
Mutual accountability is being demonstrated.
In 2011 national performance assessment frameworks were routinely used by the agency to assess progress in 100% of IHP+ countries where they exist. Target = 100%.
NO DATA
Lower values are better
100% 2005/7 2011
In 2011 the agency participated in health sector mutual assessments of progress in 42% of IHP+ countries where they exist. Target = 100%.
100% 2005/7 2011
100%
Civil Society meaningfully engaged.
target achieved
progress made towards achieving target
In 2011, evidence exists in 22% of IHP+ countries that the agency supported civil society engagement in health sector policy processes. Target = 100%.
2005/7 2011
no progress or regression
data not provided
*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. In all IHP+ countries GAVI is represented by Alliance partners at country level and so does not directly sign country compacts. GAVI support for compacts is evidenced by letters of support to country governments.
GAVI does not specifically track how much support is reflected on budget, but encourages countries to record this support to advance overall national health planning and ownership. GAVI provides capacity development support to countries through direct, flexible cash grants to governments and through Alliance partners, including UNICEF, the World Bank, the World Health Organisation, and civil society organisations. 100% of GAVI's support to the country is programme-based.
GAVI support aligns with the duration of national health and immunisation plans, and is therefore multi-year by design.

SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO ACHIEVE RESULTS
GAVI supports the use of country systems. While countries have the option to self-procure vaccines, the vast majority choose to use the global procurement mechanism (via UNICEF) to ensure quality and value. Countries use their own procurement systems and national Public Financial Management (PFM) systems for GAVI’s cash-based support. GAVI does not use separate Project Implementation Units. GAVI is concerned that the IHP+ measurement approach, based on 5 countries, does not accurately assess country ownership of procurement and PFM systems in the health sector. GAVI believes that such assessments should be more nuanced to better reflect good practice in development assistance.
GAVI assesses results through Annual Progress Reports provided by countries, which use existing national indicators, including for immunisation coverage rates.
GAVI increasingly participates in mutual assessments in countries (where a mutual assessment process exists) and increasingly participates in the JARs.
GAVI provides support to civil society for strengthening their engagement in the health sector, including in national planning and implementation processes and raising awareness about the important role of civil society in immunisation and child health.
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
Produced by the independent North-South Consortium for IHP+Results, mandated by IHP+ Global Compact signatories. See www.ihpresults.net
Planned disbursements are based on vaccine doses needed. These are adjusted annually based on the countries’ identified needs, so actual disbursements may not match earlier plans.
