Capacity Assessment and Planning Tool - National Programme Implementation

Introduction
This Capacity Assessment and Planning Tool is designed for National Programmes for HIV, TB and Malaria. It can also be used for Global Fund Grant and other donor funded programmes. The main
purpose is to strengthen the systems and procedures of national entities to manage National Programmes. It has been developed based on the experiences from a number of different countries and
can be adapted for each country context where needed.
The tool has; 1) an Assessment Stage and 2) a Planning Stage. More detailed instructions on how to complete it are provided in the sample worksheet. There is a separate worksheet for each of the
main capacity areas required for a National Programme and/or donor funded programme. The worksheets include: Programme Management; Sub-Recipient Management; Financial Management; Risk
Management; Procurement and Supply Chain Management; and Monitoring and Evaluation. These should be used as a menu and the required capacities selected or capacities added based on the
country programme, disease and/or national entity. The capacities listed have been aligned against the Global Fund LFA assessment and Minimum PR Requirements updates can be found on
http://www.theglobalfund.org/en/.
Ideally the assessment and planning should be conducted using a participatory process with relevant stakeholders supported by structured facilitation.
Implementation Capacities
The following is a summary of the priority Capacity Development Results that are often identified as a result of the assessment and planning stages of the process:
1. A functioning Financial Accounting system able to produce timely and accurate reports and support the preparation of disbursement requests that meets the national and Global Fund requirements.
2. Operations Manuals with procedures and templates that are being utilised to support the implementation of the programmes and meet the national and Global Fund requirements
3. A Procurement and Supply Chain Management system that has the capabilities to forecast, procure and ensure end users have reliable access to commodities, that provides value for money and
meets national and Global Fund quality requirements.
4. An M&E system that is able to generate quality and timely data that is being used to generate accurate and timely reports; to facilitate analysis; and to inform management decisions.
5. Sufficient adequately qualified Human Resources that understand and can comply with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to the minimum levels required nationally and by the Global Fund.
6. Oversight and Accountability mechanisms guided by risk identification and provide sufficient fiduciary management and due diligence of Global Fund investments.
7. Human Rights / Gender Equality/ Sexual Orientation and related barriers to accessing services are addressed.
Resource Mobilisation
The preparation and implementation of the Action Plan will allow resources to be mobilised from different sources including government expenditure, donors, UN agencies, international NGOs and the
Global Fund. Coordination between the funding sources and the donors will be important to draw on the comparative advantage of each organisation and optimise the resources available.
