How are malaria grants performing? ……Assessed performance of 31 grants after two years of implementation Reason: (i) Phase 1 (First 2 years of a grant): Disbursements based on performance against agreed milestones (ii) Phase 2 (end of Phase 1): All grants reviewed for performance against two-year targets to determine if funding can be continued into Phase 2 (years 3-5)
Grant performance was rated as follows… A = 2 Grants achieving or exceeding their targets B1= 18 Satisfactory performance, or with contextual issues that can be resolved B2= 8 Inadequate performance, but have potential to succeed e.g. major recent improvements in program-supporting environment; C = 3 Unacceptably low performance, and with critical contextual risks
Lessons learned Success depends on a package of elements rather than on any single element: Financial resources alone not enough Tools: Better use of existing tools New tools: Drugs, vaccines, insecticides, & DIAGNOSTICS BUT tools alone not enough either Strong health systems (human resources, services, including laboratory diagnostic services, and effective management) Monitoring and evaluation capacity Good governance: public/private/civil society partnership
