Concept:Capitalize on overlaps to consolidate data collection for multiple RT activities
http://www.healthsystems2020.org/content/resource/detail/2321/
Coordinating National Health Accounts (NHA) and National AIDS Spending Assessments (NASA) has the potential to:
Reduce the burden of data reporting on all partners
Minimize time and money wasted on duplicative tasks
Produce consistent, complementary results to inform policy
Bring together inter-sectoral stakeholders

Harmonizing NHA & NASA in the field
Rwanda (2007-8, 2010) NHA/NASA ‘crosswalk tables’ applied to NHA
estimation
Namibia (2010) Joint NHA/NASA data collection, report with
UNAIDS
DRC (2010) Joint NHA/NASA data collection with UNAIDS,
PNMLS
Ethiopia (2009-10) Collaboration with UNAIDS in NHA estimation;
NHA figures to be used to generate UNGASS tables
Vietnam (2010-11) Joint NHA/NASA data collection with UNAIDS

Coordinated implementation of RT activities (NASA & NHA)
Different counterparts, stakeholders for each RT activity Differences in intended use of results by stakeholders
Timelines for implementation, reporting, etc. Consistency in local capacity-building Funding mechanisms
Data needs, methods of data collection and analysis Potential for inconsistency of results

Coordinated implementation of RT activities (NASA & NHA)
Frame the activity as part of institutionalizing RT Emphasize collaboration at stakeholder meetings Joint reports (or joint sections)
Clear division of responsibilities up frontTrain local counterpart staff on joint methodology Hire the same consultant to work on both RT activities
Combined technical working sessions Single set of data collection instruments Single data collection effort

Concept:Resource tracking software that collects and stores health expenditure data from donors and NGOs in a country
Increased data consistency, comparability, and availability for health policy planning
Faster and easier for partners to complete spending reports Improved coordination of health sector spending

Challenge:Differences in methods and definitions between resource tracking activities
Potential solution: Define common classification criteria for expenditures
![Page 12: Montreux, November 18 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081508/5681474d550346895db4917a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Challenge: Potential overlap/duplication of existing RT activities, health information system
Potential solution: Integrate database with existing data sources, data needs
![Page 13: Montreux, November 18 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081508/5681474d550346895db4917a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Potential solution: Design database to produce reports stakeholders want
Challenge:Initial added reporting burden until database replaces other RT activities

Potential solution: Develop open source software with Ministry of Health programmers; provide training
Challenge:Maintenance, improvement and use of the RT database
