7. Monitoring the Partnership Code of Conduct (COC) performance reviewed for past 3 years as part of annual sector performance monitoring processes. COC indicators largely match Paris Declaration and IHP+ partnership indicators. COC tools still need improvement and are reviewed and updated annually based on reporting experiences.

8. Status and Progress Country Ownership l Split of MOH into MOMS and MOPHS in 2008 has fragmented leadership in the sector. l Quality of coordinating structures is improving, but still needs attention. l New challenges for the sector are emerging from new Constitution – decentralization, and constitutional right to health

9. Status and Progress Alignment with Country Systems l Remains a challenge: DPs perceive GOK systems to still be weak and high-risk for channeling funds and monitoring inputs. l Systems-strengthening efforts are in progress, but are not well harmonized and coordinated. l Some partners cannot move towards budget support, but all are willing to improve efforts to strengthen GOK systems.

10. Status and Progress Harmonisation l Still a challenge: many parallel structures and processes place undue burdens on MOHs and result in duplication of efforts and fragmented support to national programmes. l But there is renewed commitment from all partners to improve on harmonization and coordination. l New JFA provides opportunities for coordinated basket funding.

11. Status and Progress Managing for Results l Joint planning and review processes have improved considerably, but still need attention. l HMIS systems are providing better quality data, and systems strengthening continues. l Data to monitor equity issues is improving. l Use of data for decision-making still needs improvement at all levels.

12. Status and Progress Mutual Accountability l Work on improving comprehensive sector budget and expenditure reporting and analysis continues. l Sector reporting to the public on plans and achievements needs more attention.
