New Global Alliances Global Alliance for Vaccines Initiative (GAVI) Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria STOP TB Initiative Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition Rollback Malaria
2
New Global Alliances Purpose: Alliances allow agency to leverage additional resources Partners: governments, donors, development agencies, private sector, media, civil society, research groups High priority for the Agency Substantial USAID contribution to Alliances
3
Mission Role In Global Partnerships Participate in coordinating committees Provide assistance in proposal design Provide assistance, as appropriate, in implementing and monitoring country programs
4
Child Survival and Family Planning - Cover the basics CS and FP programs: Rule of thumb: First assure that proven interventions and approaches are covered For CS: still large unmet needs for immun, vita suppl, exclusive breastfeeding, ORT, etc. ARI: Treatment of child pneumonia is a proven intervention and is under-utilized Even in southern Africa, far more children die of the traditional causes of under-five mortality than from AIDS
5
Child Survival and Family Planning - Cover the basics FP still a priority even in high HIV setting (unmet need for HIV- & special needs for HIV+) Need to replicate successful models in Africa Proven Interventions: logistics, BCC, accessible services, range of methods Contracept Security; Post-abortion Care
6
Vitamin A Supplementation Program For all countries with significant Vitamin A deficiency Priority USAID Initiative: Currently USAID supports VA suppl in 24 countries up from 6 countries in 1999 As a complementary strategy, agency supports food fortification as a cost- effective, sustainable nutrition intervention
7
Maternal Health and Survival - Key Approaches for Africa Maternal and neonatal health is the last remaining frontier for MCH Traditional interventions: BF, TT, IFA combined with newer approaches (postpartum hemorrhage control and newborn resuscitation) can make an impact
8
Immunization Cornerstone of USAID’s CS Program Bilateral funding critical to make GAVI work Introduction of newer vaccines makes immunization even more important We support measles mortality reduction Interruption of polio transmission critical in remaining endemic countries
9
TB Programming New, highly specialized area for PHN Officers Congressional scrutiny of our programs Most CAs have limited experience Bad TB program may spread untreatable MDR TB Critical to consult USAID/W TB team on implementing TB programs
10
Malaria Few countries have appropriate policies for treatment and intermittent preventive therapy for pregnant women MAC Program is a new global partnership: Seeking to improve national policies and practices related to treatment and pregnancy Coalition includes CDC, MNH/JHPIEGO, RPM+/MSH, and WHO Regional expansion of Netmark to reach more countries with affordable nets - $3.50—5.50
11
HIV/AIDS Intense Congress/WH interest Increased funding yields greater scrutiny USG committed to ambitious global targets
12
HIV/AIDS Common indicators to measure impact are set and will be tracked by USAID/W We need to tell our story - show progress in countries and globally
13
Appropriate use of CS Funds New CSH guidance issued Constant audits of the use of CSH funds Use right type of funds for each program CSH are not fungible Commingling of CSH funds okay - but documentation for the file is required Consultation on use of funds protects us all
14
Country PHN Strategies- what GH looks for Do you cover the basics in FP and CS? Optimal use of funds and interventions for each program area Target populations are substantial enough for national level impact Are you plugged to key global health initiatives and other donor programs Consultation with USAID/W on ID and HIV/AIDS
15
Bilateralization - Lessons Learned Protect USAID’s past investments Maintain national level impact for key programs Continue to support diversity of development partners Do transition planning Involve USAID/W
