PEPFAR Rwanda is developing a Partnership Framework for the next five years. Technical assistance is

required to facilitate the process.

Background

Rwandan Health Sector has recently undertaken a strategic planning exercise as the national health sector

strategic Plan (HSSP I) period came to an end. The follow on Strategic Plan for the Health Sector (HSSP II)

was developed with extensive stakeholder contribution, particularly PEPFAR Rwanda and its implementing

partners. Contribution focused on the identification and justification of strategic interventions, indicator

development and target setting. Simultaneously sub-strategic plans were developed. Support was provided

through the USG PEPFAR team for development of the HIV, TB, and M&E and HMIS sub- strategic plans.

On finalization of the various plans a costing exercise began. This process involved the use of the Joint

Annual Work Plan, a database of costed activities at National and District level for all health sector partners.

This process contributed to the gap analysis required for the Global Fund National Strategy Application.

Objective

The Ministry of Health currently has two health economists; one recently promoted to the position of director

of planning and development. These funds will provide capacity building to the Ministry of Health to ensure

adequate Government of Rwanda support for working closely with the PEPFAR financial assessment and

implementing partners to allow a review of the JAWP database and make suggestions for changes to the

database. In addition, these funds will assist the planning and implementation of long-term financial

management and institutional strengthening as part of the development of the Rwanda Partnership

Framework.
