More about the contribution
WHO AFRO has applied to Sweden for funding of 80 million SEK to carry out the " Country Level AFRO Reform (DCL): From COVID to HEALTH), which is divided into two pillars. Pillar 1: COVID-19 implications on essential health service delivery (i.e., SRHR) and mitigating the risk of system collapse" and pillar two “Coordinated Strategic and Policy Support for Structural and Functional Transformation of WHO Country Offices.” The programme will be implemented between 1 July 2020 and 31 December 2021. Sida will contribute 30 Million SEK to pillar one and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs (MFA) will contribute 50 million SEK to pillar two. The funding will be used to strengthen and amplify the convening power, influence, and mandate of the WHO/AFRO to offer quality and timely technical support to the focus countries. More specifically, this Grant will allow WHO/AFRO to support the focus countries in achieving the following outcomes: 1. Maintained continuity of essential high-quality SRHR information and services through a health system approach, including preventing and responding to sexual and gender-based violence 2. Increased access to a wider range of contraceptive methods (expanded method mix) through Task Sharing and self-care interventions 3. Strengthened monitoring system for tracking progress in SRHR/Family Planning. This investment will enable WHO-AFRO to contribute to components of its Transformation Agenda 2015-2020—pro-results values, smart technical focus; responsive strategic operations; and effective communication and partnerships in the SRHR workspace. It will also contribute to the Regional WHO transformation aiming at understanding the country’s priorities as well as the type and level of support required and align WHO country presence to the Member States and partner expectations (linked to Pillar II). WHO AFRO will implement the contribution in close coronation with 2Gether4SRHR (ID: 10596), in particular the agreement amended (ZAM-DC19/2020). The total budget of the contribution is 80 Million SEK, where Sida contributes 30 MSEK and the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs 50 MSEK (Decision UD2020/08919/IU, UD2020/01985/FN) . The contribution is in line with the Africa Joint Continental Strategy for COVID-19 Outbreak.

Result
Below is an extract of results achieved in the past year, presented at the annual planning and review meeting that was held in Freetown in December 2022, gathering all the 17 program countries with staff represented by WHO AFRO WHO Country offices (WCOs) and Ministry of Health (MoH) staff on national level. For more results please see annual narrative report July 2021-July 2022 Dox 043460/22. Progress was made in all countries towards an enabling policy environment for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) services including abortion care through evidence-based advocacy and policy dialogue. These include the technical framework for the Safe Motherhood and Reproductive Health Bill developed in Sierra Leone in 2022; strengthened partnership, advocacy, and policy dialogue for SRHR, including the updating of the Regional Agenda for SRHR in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the period 20222030 to serve as a guide for Member States and partners to advance SRHR; improved monitoring and accountability for SRHR through harmonized health facility assessments (HHFA); using tools that have integrated the SRHR/abortion module in Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Côte dIvoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Ghana; development and/or updating of the national Sexual, Reproductive, Maternal, Child, Adolescent Health (SRMNCAH) scorecard in most of the program countries to monitor and assess the continuity of essential SRHR services. Some innovative approaches were shared, such as the establishment of a youth call centre on SRHR in Burundi, the incident management system to accelerate the reduction of maternal deaths in Cameroon, collaboration with professional associations of gynaecologists/obstetricians and midwives and other actors for dissemination and implementation of WHO guidelines in many of the program countries. Capacity-building sessions were also conducted in facilities, within communities, and in professional organizations in all the programme countries.
The objectives of the intervention have not been changed. This intervention supports the WHO AFRO implementation of the Country Level AFRO Reform (DCL): From COVID to HEALTH, "Pillar 1: COVID-19 implications on essential health service delivery (i.e., SRHR) and mitigating the risk of system collapse". The initiative will strengthen and amplify the convening power, influence, and mandate of the WHO AFRO to offer quality and timely technical support to focus countries, in order to achieve the following outcomes: 1. Maintained continuity of essential high-quality SRHR information and services through a health system approach, including preventing and responding to sexual and gender-based violence 2. Increased access to a wider range of contraceptive methods (expanded method mix) through Task Sharing and self-care interventions 3. Strengthened monitoring system for tracking progress in SRHR/Family Planning. Additional funding to Pillar 2 “Coordinated Strategic and Policy Support for Structural and Functional Transformation of WHO Country Offices” is channeled trough the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
