Monitor
Action
Review
….accountability of all
stakeholders
… for RMNCH and the
health sector in general
National
review mechanisms
Recommendations 1-3:
Monitoring results
• Vital events: By 2015, all countries have taken significant steps to establish a system
for registration of births, deaths and causes of death, and have well-functioning health
information systems that combine data from facilities, administrative sources and
surveys.
• Health indicators: By 2012, the proposed 11 indicators on reproductive, maternal
and child health, disaggregated for gender and other equity considerations, are being
used for the purpose of monitoring progress towards the goals of the Global Strategy.
• Innovation: By 2015, all countries have integrated the use of Information and
Communication Technologies in their national health information systems and health
infrastructure.
Health indicators: By 2012, the same 11 indicators across the continuum of
care: reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health, including HIV …
Three tracer indicators:
– maternal mortality ratio
– under-5 child mortality (with the proportion of newborn deaths)
– children under 5 who are stunted
Eight coverage indicators:
– met need for contraception
– antenatal care coverage
– antiretroviral prophylaxis among HIV positive pregnant women to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV
– skilled attendant at birth
– postnatal care (within 48 hours of childbirth) for mother and child
– breastfeeding exclusively for 6 months
– three doses of the combined diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine
– children with suspected pneumonia receiving antibiotics.
Commission' recommendations
Monitoring results (details on
indicators)
• Resource tracking: By 2015, all 74+1 countries where 98% of maternal and child
deaths take place, are tracking and reporting, at a minimum, two aggregate resource
indicators
- total health expenditure by financing source, per capita; and
- total reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health expenditure by financing
source, per capita.
• Country Compacts: By 2012, in order to facilitate resource tracking, “compacts”
between country governments and all major development partners are in place that
require reporting, based on a format to be agreed in each country, on externally
funded expenditures and predictable commitments.
• Reaching women and children: By 2015, all governments have the capacity to
regularly review health spending (including spending on reproductive, maternal,
newborn and child health) and to relate spending to commitments, human rights,
gender and other equity goals and results.
Recommendations 4-6:
Tracking resources
• National oversight: By 2012, all countries have established national accountability
mechanisms that are transparent, that are inclusive of all stakeholders, and that recommend
remedial action, as required.
• Transparency: By 2013, all stakeholders are publicly sharing information on commitments,
resources provided and results achieved annually, at both national and international levels.
• Reporting aid for women’s and children’s health: By 2012, development partners request
the OECD-DAC to agree on how to improve the Creditor Reporting System so that it can
capture, in a timely manner, all reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health spending
by development partners. In the interim, development partners and the OECD implement a
simple method for reporting such expenditure.
• Global oversight: Starting in 2012 and ending in 2015, an independent ‘‘Expert Review
Group’’ is reporting regularly to the United Nations Secretary-General on the results and
resources related to the Global Strategy and on progress in implementing this Commission’s
recommendations.
