Main achievements under each of the 2008 AWP programme components
In 2008, an initiative aimed at systematically collecting data for decision making, was launched. Initial results are encouraging, but there is still a lot of work outstanding to roll out this initiative across all CHAG institutions and link it to the recently introduced District Health Management Information System (DHMIS).
With the appointment of a health planner Health Services Adivisor and health management advisor, the Secretariat also succeeded in building up more expertise in the areas of health financing, insurance and system development.
To better position itself towards its main 'customer groups' (i.e. MIs, CHCUs, MOH and the Executive Board), the Secretariat defined a ‘product and service package’ for each of these 4 groups. Work is in progress to tailor these products and services to the needs of respective 'customer groups'.
Successful efforts towards integrating technical and financial planning and reporting were also made in 2008. The Secretariat is now in the position to timely produce integrated (technical and financial) progress reports, irrespective of funding sources. Read more >>>
