Tracking progress + commitments towards
MDGs 4 & 5
Priority Action (PA) 6
Strengthening monitoring and evaluation to ensure partners are accountable in the implementing initiatives
Funding commitments for health are frequently made at meetings and high-level fora. With regards to funding for MNCH, however, there is little or no follow-up on the implementation of these pledges across the continuum of care – although Partners do have their own accountability and monitoring mechanisms. PMNCH is well placed to track pledges made, assess whether pledges made are actually realized, and to link with global and national advocacy partners to hold donors, agencies and governments accountable. Key outcomes for PA 6 include:
- Monitor annually all partners financial commitments to MNCH, including those of donors, government, multi-laterals and large non-governmental organizations;
- Work to agree have utilized common monitoring and evaluation framework among initiatives and siseminate in high priority countries;
- Advocate the use of Countdown to 2015 products and information, making them publicly available;
- Support provided to the Countdown 2010 Conference on tracking progress for MNCH;
- Support tracking progress on maternal, newborn and child health.
