Analyzing a Second Round of Data Collected from National Governments and Relevant Authorities

Overview

As part of the monitoring of the SDG3 GAP, national governments and responsible authorities were asked to respond to questions concerning their health coordination environment. This is the second time this is being done, the first was in 2021-22. This document presents an analysis of this round of responses making comparisons with the first round where possible.

Responses are useful to SDG3 GAP agencies by identifying cross-country issues which need to be addressed to improve the health coordination environment. They also show that an improved health coordination environment has tangible effects on health and health programmes. In addition, some countries directly relate improvements in the health coordination environment to SDG3 GAP.

Responses are likely to be of most use at country level. One distinctive feature of this survey is that it provides national governments an opportunity to rate and comment on the extent to which development partners are operating in an aligned and coordinated manner. This is in contrast to the more usual situation where development partners are assessing and commenting on the performance of national governments.
