Annex 4 – Application of the Australian Aid Policy tests to health Aid Policy Tests This means that DFAT Health diplomacy and investments will…. Considerations/criteria Findings for HSSP2 Pursuing national interest and extending Australia’s influence • prioritise low and middle-income countries in the Indo-Pacific Pacific region • reflect Australia’s broader strategic and political priorities and comparative advantage (e.g. geographic proximity and priority relationships) • promote regional security, stability and prosperity through addressing health related development and economic risks • Are public health issues, antimicrobial resistance in the region and future epidemics a potential threat to Australia’s interests? • Can Australia be a significant and valuable health player in the region? • Does the investment benefit DFAT’s priority countries in the Indo-Pacific region? Does it benefit countries in Southeast Asia and the Pacific in particular? • Is health a priority sector in the relevant DFAT country and regional Aid Investment Plans? • Does the investment prevent or mitigate a public health threat to Australia, to the region, and globally? • Does the investment prevent health-related instability in the region and thereby contribute to economic and human development? • Does the investment promote a regional solution to cross-border disease threats, such as antimicrobial resistance in the region? • Not significantly – except for malaria where HSSP2 has supported efforts in malaria elimination. • YES. Australia is THE significant and valuable player and the SI SWAp is a flagship program of support • YES. Specifically the Pacific • YES • NO. May reduces Solomon Islanders coming to Australia for treatment. • YES. HSSP2 has been a major contributor to the RAMSI led stabilisation mission. • NO Impact on promoting growth and reducing poverty • target health system constraints to address countries’ priority health challenges including • Is poor health limiting partner countries’ progress with economic growth and poverty reduction? • Does the investment focus on benefitting the poor? Who will benefit? What is the evidence for this? (e.g. • YES. See world Bank and IMF studies. • YES - on poor. All population will benefit with focus on provincial level
results focus backed by high calibre M&E systems • work with partners who have the capacity to deliver, measure and be accountable for results • generate the evidence to improve multilateral/bilateral effectiveness for health • support sharper program focus and consolidation Do they invest in ‘best-buys’? • Do the investments have a strong monitoring and evaluation framework in place, or planned, with appropriate indicators, baseline data and targets? • Can opportunities be taken to support national health information systems? E.g. disease data, surveillance, civil registration and vital statistics. • Do partner organisations have the capacity to report against monitoring and evaluation frameworks? • Does DFAT have the means to harvest and share the lessons of the investment for future practice? • Does the investment contribute to consolidation or fragmentation of DFAT’s portfolio? partner in the program. • Yes. But this aspect continues to be improved. M&E is through SIG systems and is a work in progress • YES. Done and part of ongoing support (see point above). Improvements in vital statistics also. • YES. All should report through SIG. All report through DHIS. • Possibly. This planning and additional resources but is important • CONSOLIDATION. Very much so. This has been a feature of HSSP2
