resilient and sustainable systems for health

ABSTRACT Our review of the Office of the Inspector General’s audit revealed that incomplete data and data inaccuracies were a systemic problem in some countries during 2019 and 2020. It demonstrates health system weaknesses that all stakeholders need to address. There is a need for increased funding for resilient and sustainable systems for health to support countries to manage their data systems better. Specifically, the additional funding should be used to train healthcare workers in data collection and inculcate a culture of data analysis for decision making.

ABSTRACT Funding applications have systematically incorporated a health system strengthening component. Even though a strategy and tools have been developed to facilitate planning, resilient and sustainable systems for health remains a difficult subject to comprehend, especially when attempting to put it into operation for Global Fund teams and implementing countries.

ABSTRACT The Global Fund’s policy on sustainability, transition, and co-financing allows countries to spend part or all of their co-financing on strengthening their systems for health. A sample of Global Fund allocation letters for the 2020-2022 cycle reveals that countries and the Secretariat prefer to spend co-financing funds to purchase health commodities.

ABSTRACT “Many funding requests do not acknowledge or address the common problem of shortage or maldistribution of human resources for health,” the Technical Review Panel said in a recent report on RSSH investments in the 2017–2019 allocation period. The TRP analyzed 50 funding requests from Windows 1–5. This is one of three GFO articles on the report.

ABSTRACT Integration, both across the three diseases as well as more broadly to other health services –– such as reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health –– is lacking in funding requests, the Technical Review Panel says in a recent report on RSSH investments in the 2017–2019 allocation period. The TRP analyzed 50 funding requests from Windows 1–5. This is one of three GFO articles on the report.

ABSTRACT The Technical Review Panel recently released a report on RSSH investments in the 2017–2019 allocation period. Although there has been progress, the TRP found, a greater focus on resilient and sustainable systems for health will be required in the 2020–2022 allocation period if the Global Fund is to achieve its RSSH-related strategic objectives. The TRP analyzed 50 funding requests from Windows 1–5. This overview is one of three GFO articles on the report; the other two, on integrated health systems and human resources for health, will be published in a future edition of the GFO.
