The Netherlands has signed national compacts in Ethiopia, Mali and Mozambique.

Support in all countries is based on national health strategies and plans. In 2011 all financial support was reported on national healthsector budgets.

The Netherlands has multi-year strategic plans of 4 years: the last one from 2007-2011.

In Burkina Faso and Mozambique 100% of health sector aid has been disbursed according to plan. In Ethiopia and Mali more than100% originally committed were disbursed in 2011, due to renewed collaborations into the new multi-year strategic plans for 2012-2015.

The Netherlands provided non-earmarked funds in 2011 to the public health sector of Burkina Faso, Mali and Mozambique which useentirely public financial management systems, also for procurement. In Ethiopia a trust fund of the World Bank has been used forsupport to the national health sector, using World Bank procedures for procurement.

The Netherlands used national performance assessment frameworks in all 4 countries and advocates for improved use in all countries.

In all 4 countries, the Netherlands participates in national health reviews and advocates for including and improving mutualassessments of IHP+ compacts in these processes. In Burkina Faso, the Netherlands will phase out in 2013 in the health sector. Fromnow till 2013, UNICEF in Burkina Faso will be the vocal partner in future health reviews.

In all 4 countriesCSO are supported, in advancing the access and quality of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights and in promoting a bettercoordination and collaboration between public and private sector.

SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO ACHIEVE RESULTS

This additional information is reported by the Organisation to explain what specific actions it is taking to implement its IHP+ commitments to the8 Expected Results, or to qualify its measures of progress.

HOW TO INTERPRET THIS SCORECARDExpected Results reflect key commitments that were made by IHP+ signatories in the IHP+ Global Compact. Each expected result hascorresponding standard performance measures to track progress over time. The progress of all agencies is rated against these mutuallyagreed expectations.Rating symbols illustrate whether the Agency has achieved , is working towards , or has not achieved its targets overthe most recent annual reporting cycle. Details of these independent assessments undertaken by the IHP+Results Consortium can befound online in the North-South Observatory for IHP+Results (www.ihpresults.net).Target describes the aggregate data on which the Rating is based, with a comparison of 2011 and baseline performance.Overall Progress shows a two-bar graph with the aggregate data for the agency in question across all the countries for which healthsector support has been reported. In most cases, the agreed target for each standard performance measure (SPM) is shown as a redline.Scorecard ratings are aggregates of performance across a number of countries. Aggregates might hide variations in the agency'sperformance. Disaggregated data can be found at www.ihpresults.netNB: The ratings presented here are based on self-reported data. IHP+Results has taken steps to triangulate this data using othersources. More details are vailable at www.ihpresults.net
