Fifth GAVI Board Meeting, 21-22 June 2001, London, England
June 2001
Capacity
Building
Discussion
Strengthening capacity of individuals and institutions in countries is
critical for the long-term success of GAVI. It would be helpful to have
a presentation on the activities and plans of the GAVI task forces, and
in particular the Task Force on Country Coordination (TFCC) at the next
Board meeting.
The
framework for strengthening capacity may be too traditional and top-down
in its approach. The inter-task force sub-group that has been formed to
develop the framework should strive to seek more creative approaches to
ensuring sustainability, including a broader perspective at the country
level emphasizing the roles of ICCs and the broader health sector and
institutional development.
It will be
important to use the innovations developed through the Alliance to
exploit from a capacity building point of view. One example of this is
the immunization Data Quality Audits (DQA) which are being piloted in
countries over the next few months.
DECISIONS
The Board:
-
requested
that capacity building be included as a distinct item on the next
Board meeting agenda.
