  17. Learning from 2012 HLM commitments: a melting pot?

  18. Learning from 2012 HLM commitments: a melting pot? • Screen-shot on commitments from website; both circles and the histogram Political Prioritization Evidence Based Decisions National Processes

  19. Creative tensions of 2012 HLM commitments • Too Many vs. Too Few • Old vs. New • Quick wins vs. Structural Changes • Broad vs. Specific

  20. The rules of dream 2014 HLM commitments 2014 HLM 2012 HLM • Few, but of quality • Rooted in plans, but with a new lens • Sequence short-term and structural • SWA –MART: Smart and SWA categories • Too few vs. too little • Old vs. New • Short-term vs. structural • Broad vs. Specific

  21. 1. Few, but of quality • ‘90 second’ rule • Max. 5 commitments • Commitments tell a story to the high level • ‘game-changing’ rule • Bold commitments that will carry a step-change on: • Sustainability • Elimination of inequalities • Universal access

  22. 2. Rooted in plans, but with new lens Balance Rule • Good commitments are • - rooted in existing plans • - Understand bottlenecksof unfinished agenda BUT • - Recognise shifting agenda • (Universal access, tackling inequalities, sutainabiliy, aid-effectiveness) • - will be integratedin next planning cycle

  23. 3. Sequence short vs. long term • ‘Approppriate timeframe’ rule • Quick wins for ‘1st timers / 2 yr. periods • For 2nd timers, focus should shift to structural changes

  24. 4. Make them SWA-MART ‘SMART rule’ Ensure coordination of sector activities • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Timebound NO ? ? ? NO

  25. 4. SWA- MART Establish over the next two years a fully formal coordination mechanism for partners jointly provided by Ministry of Health and Ministry of Public Works SMART • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Timebound YES ? YES ? YES

  26. 4. SWA- MART Inclusion of sanitation in the political agenda SMART • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Timebound NO ? ? ? NO

  27. 4. SWA- MART SMART Include Sanitation as priority in the Growth Strategy for Poverty Reduction Document (2014-2018) and Government Priority Actions Program (2014-2018) • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Timebound Yes Yes ? ? Yes

  28. 4. SWA- MART SMART Include Sanitation as priority in the Growth Strategy for Poverty Reduction Document (2014-2018) and Government Priority Actions Program (2014-2018) • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Timebound Yes Yes ? ? Yes

  29. 4a. SWA Specific • Indicate an action, lead ans supporting ministers/parners • Makes sense at country level • BUT fits into SWA CATERGORIES Political Prioritization Evidence Based Dec-Making National Processes Financing Visibility Global Monitoring National monitoring systems Transparency Evidence Linking monitoring to planning 8. Policy & Plans 9. Coordination and aligment 10. Decentralization 11. Capacity

  30. 4b. SWA Measurable • No global/ common indicators • BUT country-specific indicator included upfront • Check for measurability by national systems

  31. 4c. Achievable • ACHIEVABLE: • Consistent with progress on previous commitments • Consistent with what other countries do • Anticipating all facets/ level off effort required • E.g.: Build knowledge-sharing networks • 1yr later: centres have been built but no meny to run them!

  32. 4d. Relevant • Fit to fix the main problems! • Comitments reflect: • Key sector bottlenecks– JSRs, CSOs, BAT, JSR, GLAAS • Progress of previous commitments- SWA update • Country broader priorities - PSRP etc. • Commitments in regional/global fora - AfricaSan, SACOSAN

  33. 4d. Timebound • Timebound: • What can be achieved before 2016? • If the comitment is longer term, then it should be broken down into milestones, one of which should be achievable by 2016

  34. What happens to 2012HLM commitments in 2014? 1. Has the 2012 HLM commitment been achieved? Yes Par-tially 2. Is the commitment still relevant to the current context ? No Yes Archive commitment Analyze barriers and refocus/rephrase
