CDC/DGHA FY 11 Funding – All Sources Majority of funding invested in Cooperative Agreements Benefits of investing in CoAgs Allows CDC technical experts maximum engagement & partner oversight Facilitates side-by-side planning and implementation, allowing for mentoring & transference of skill CDC experts ensure programs are of highest quality while preserving local ownership
Investment Strategy by Partner Type CDC/DGHA FY11 Budget Financial Investments Reflect DGHA Priorities DGHA builds local capacity by investing in Ministries and indigenous partners DGHA promotes science & innovation by investing in universities
Scale-up of investments in MOH must be deliberate and strategic For the past 20 years CDC has had the sole USG/MoH agreements in Sub- Saharan Africa We have built agreements carefully and strategically over time – scaling-up slowly and pairing funding with extensive technical support to ministries Many CDC offices are co-located with MOH to facilitate mentoring and the transference of skills Standing up these funding mechanisms is initially very resource intensive – both at HQ and in the field – but ultimately cost effective and sustainable Stepwise Approach to Building MOH Capacity The cornerstone to realizing country ownership
Investing through Cooperative Agreements CDC is scaling up the number of CoAgs with indigenous partners
