SOP001: Activity prioritization/budget allocation Standardizing JHNP processes to improve accountability, transparency, efficiency and good governance Principles: • Decentralization of decision making • Alignment to HSSPs & each zone’s specific needs • Equity • Transparency and integrity
SOP002 (Implementing Partner Selection) Rationale • Document the process for selecting NGO implementing partners for JHNP • Clarifies collaborative arrangements between Somali Health Authorities and UN at zonal and Nairobi Levels Scope • Focused on NGO partners for service delivery within zones (e.g, PCAs with UNICEF) • Standardized/transparent selection of partners • Does not seek to change existing UN rules /procedures or contracting modalities, which must be UN led.
SOP002: Implementing Partner Selection Non-competitive selection: “when an existing partner, who meets the selection criteria, is covering all, or a significant proportion, of an administrative area. See the generic selection criteria for JHNP partners, which is to be accompanied and completed alongside the relevant UN agency’s standard criteria.”
SOP002: Implementing Partner Selection RFA: when (a) there are three or more NGOs operating in a region who meet the JHNP selection criteria or (b) in instances when the JHNP is moving into a new implementation region and the capacity of partners operating in that region is not known.
SOP002 (Con’t) • UN managing the awards (ie, UNICEF PCAs), MoH primary interface • ‘Transition’ SOP whilst capacity of MoH develops to manage contracts directly (post JHNP)
Programme projected budget • The programme has a 5 year $236Million aspirational budget
