Impact on countries Fragmented funding and/or funding outside the national budget and plan Undermines government capacity too many proposals, too many meetings, too many monitoring demands Duplication of services and supplies or even competition between projects and donors Waste of scarce resources Inefficient use of funds Lack of country leadership and ownership 7 What is a coherent and balanced health plan? Coverage of programs Narrow sub-set of health sector e.g. govt services only Scope of plan Broad - whole of health sector, e.g. public, NGO, church, private services Health sector & beyond e.g. plus Education None Partial Full 8

Assessment of national health plan regarding HSS 11 Planning and Costing 12
Costing in national health plans: (R4D, 2006) Assessing costing in national aids strategic plans : 7 country plans reviewed: 6 had scores of 2-3 out of a maximum 16. (UNFPA,2009) African MNH Road Maps Assessment Report: Although 26 out of 33 countries had costed their MNH plans, "only 11 countries have developed long term budgets, until 2014 or 15, based on some scaling-up strategy. " TRP (GFATM, 2011) Global Fund Information Note: Most Common Weaknesses identified by the TRP in Round 10 proposals :"The budget information was inaccurate, questionable and/or not sufficiently detailed. Although they do not normally represent the only reason for a proposal not to be recommended for funding, budget-related issues are the most frequent weaknesses raised by the TRP during proposal review and poor budgeting calls into question the soundness of work planning." 13 How was OneHealth developed? 2008: a meeting in Senegal reviewed 13 commonly used tools Agreement to develop a joint UN model. Inter Agency Working Group on Costing (IAWG COSTING) established in 2008 (WHO, UNICEF, WB, UNAIDS, UNFPA, UNDP). Partner support: The Global Fund to fight Aids, TB and Malaria, The Global Health Workforce Alliance, The Health Metrics Network, Bilateral agencies, IHP+, have provided funding and technical support. Other partners: UNIFEM and projects like USAID deliver, Optimize provide technical linputs. Health Planners in Country Reference Group provide technical and user related inputs into model development (Burkina Faso, Cap Verde, Ghana, MliM Mali, Mauritania). i

Health impact: what will be my U5MR in 2020? Do I expect to reach my MDG targets by 2015? 2. Health Systems investments and service outputs: Required investments in the Supply Chain Total & additional bed days and outpatient visits; requirements for hospitals, facilitiesandand communityservices 3.

Scenarios: how is cost and impact different for alternative scenarios of packages, targets and activities?
Responding to data challenges: Availability ofdefault data in the tool Baseline situation analysis: Epidemiology, Demography, current coverage, and some HSS. Intervention standards: drug and supply cost per average case (based on WHO treatment guidelines + international drug prices from UNICEF, MSH and IDA) + estimated personnel type & time required. Disease Programme activity standards: e.g., specific training courses; surveys; specific equipment, etc. Standardised activities for health system strengthening: Activities for Logistics, Governance, etc. Prices: from WHO CHOICE database, WHO, MSH, UNICEF Expenditures & GDP growth: WHO/NHA database, IMF User Guidance Help screens in the tool
