Country discussion of results

As part of the fifth round of IHP+ Results monitoring of effective development cooperation in health, Pakistan held a multi-stakeholder meeeting on 2 November 2016 to present key findings and discuss results. The perspectives of government, development partners, civil society and the private sector all informed the discussion and efforts to identify next steps to take action.

Representatives from IHP+, the Ministry of Heath, GIZ, World Bank, WHO, JICA, KFW, USAID, UNICEF, UNAIDS and UNFPA attended the meeting. Participants highlighted this was the first time for Pakistan to participate in IHP+ monitoring; and people agreed that this country-based approach demonstrated the need to improve routine monitoring of health sector cooperation.

Representatives also discussed how the results did not include three of four Provincial Ministries of Health, and therefore could be considered partial because the main volume of international health sector cooperation occurs at provincial level. Effective engagement of civil society was discussed and it was clear that people had differing views on what it meant. The absence of an institutional mechanisms to coordinate the roles of the private sector and of civil society was also highlighted. Mutual accountability was a key topic, and participants discussed the challenges they face in this area. 

The group decided on several routes of action in the short and long term.
