4. 4 BACKUP Why focus on Progress Tracking? Create links between RBM activities and impact on global malaria control targets Report on RBM 2008 targets Actively monitor the Harmonized Work Plan 2008 Explanation RBM partnership needs to report progress on the HWP 08 activities (~ USD 33M budget) – ROI for the donors HWP 2008 has 6 priorities, > 100 activities, covering 12 mechanisms, that extend from end of 07 until end of 08 > 50% of these activities involve collaboration between mechanisms: mutual progress updates are important RBM partnership has defined high level targets for 2008 Contribution from activities of HWP 2008 needs to be qualitatively assessed and reported in order to improve future plans and activities While RBM fills the vital resource gaps in the global malaria control, majority of the impact/ outcomes fall outside of RBM partnership ’ s control To gauge the appropriateness of its workplan budgets, however, the partnership needs to measure the overall progress made by countries through annual Landscape Report updates

5. 5 At RBM, Progress Tracking Needs To Occur at Three Levels Progress reporting based on completion of activities in the yearly Harmonized Work Plan (HWP) 2008 HWP ‘ 08 Activities HWP ‘ 08 Targets Progress tracking against RBM HWP 2008 targets RBM 2010 Targets Progress report on global targets by aggregating country level data tracked by the partnership Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Item Tracked Level of aggregation BACKUP

6. 6 At RBM, Progress Tracking Needs To Occur at Three Levels HWP 2008 Activities HWP 2008 Targets RBM 2010 Targets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Item Tracked Is RBM directly accountable? Why? Activities have been defined by RBM mechanisms Targets involve implementation and decisions beyond the RBM mechanisms. E.g., 12-20 countries to deploy MIS Targets involve implementation and decisions beyond the RBM mechanisms (e.g., in-country and global actors) Achievement of outcomes take long periods and need significant in-country effort

(PSC) and RBM Sec. managed Compiled based on interviews and qualitative assessments on progress Compiled every 6 months Performance Sub comm and RBM Sec. managed Compiled based on data from countries and global malaria scene Compiled once a year Led by: RBM Sec WGs, SRNs and the board to input into the process Led by: PSC, RBM Sec. Chairs and co-chairs of WGs, SRNs to participate in the process Led by: PSC, RBM Sec. Countries, donors and other constituencies of the partnership 3-monthly progress report by priority and mechanism Exception reporting, “ red flags ” Report for EC 6-monthly progress report by priority, target and mechanism Exception reporting Report for EC, Board Yearly Malaria Landscape Report Other? Activities defined in the HWP 2008 1.4.1 Provide consultant support to 45 malaria endemic sub-Saharan African countries to complete needs assessment and gap analysis including partner and intervention mapping.  HWG Contracting out, Sep07 – Mar 08, USD4.5M 2008 Targets set by RBM partnership 2008 targets for Priority 1: 45 technically sound, operationally feasible,country and partner owned SUFI business plans Support deployment of partnership coordinators in 10 countries RBM 2010 Targets By 2010, particularly in the lowest two economic quintiles 80% of people at risk from malaria are protected 80% of malaria patients are diagnosed and treated with effective anti-malarial medicines …
