Resumo
A series of high-level forums held between 2003 and 20061 identified critical policy-levelconstraints that must be addressed to accelerate progress towards the health MillenniumDevelopment Goals (MDGs). The post-high-level forum meeting held in Tunis in June 2006recommended that partners and countries work together to strengthen regional capacity to providedemand-driven technical support to countries as well as opportunities to exchange experiences.Another recommendation was establishment of a mechanism that will facilitate and coordinate theprocess of country-led development of evidence-based policies and plans for the acceleratedattainment of the MDGs.2. The African Development Bank, UNAIDS, UNFPA, UNICEF, WHO and World Bank agreedin 2006 to jointly set up a regional mechanism known as Harmonization for Health in Africa (HHA).This mechanism aims to support countries and development partners to facilitate: (i) evidence- andcountry-based planning, costing and budgeting for health outcomes, (ii) alignment with countryprocesses and harmonization; and (iii) removal of health system bottlenecks. The functioning of theHHA is overseen by the regional directors of the collaborating institutions. They have designated atechnical oversight committee to oversee the implementation of a rolling workplan and to report onprogress.Citação
