RBM Executive CommitteeReport & Vision

First-ever EC; only 6 months of work together; experiment of sortsUp to next Board & Chair/VC as to whether another EC will be formed; VC or Chair can assign of that committee to another Board member to Chair;

Hope to have set precedent for working together, streamline decision making processes, make interim action possible; networking abilityRecommend: Secretariat staff to be allocated to EC; that it not be enlarged; that it have one meeting in person per quarter

Performance

• Constant theme: shared purpose, work plan and workload…reliant on each other and sustained effort is always borrowed

• 4 tiers of performance: (1) Secretariat; (2) Hosting; (3) RBM Working Groups; (4) Macro Indicators (Abuja Goals, Dakar Milestones, Scorecard, GF performance, HWG) * Considerations in Evaluation: appropriately funded & staffed

• See EC approved criteria re: Secretariat performance indicators

• Hosting, tier 2, will be refined end of May at MOU evaluation

• MOTION: Establishment of Board Subcommittee on Performance

RBM Working Groups

• Classify WG products and budgets for May 2007-May 2008 period so that they support the Partnership mission of: "To work together to enable sustained delivery and use of the most effective prevention and treatment for those affected most by malaria by promoting increased investment in health systems and incorporation of malaria control into all relevant multi-sector activities".

• Parameters: Are work-plans and products “relevant, timely, SUFI-aligned and are groups properly funded, mobilized, organized and engaged” - or is there is better use of time and resources.

– IF YES, confirm work-plan, functions, approve/re-allocate budget– IF NO, advise on direction, co-join or transition to technical WGs

• In particular, consensus-building Working Groups may want to outline products and provide required expertise through its Harmonization WG, to meet it short term performance targets of:

– 50% GFATM Round 7 application success rate (80% in the 19 countries receiving focused support)

– 100% Phase 2 GF malaria grant renewal rates– 80% of "A" scores in implementing existing resources

• What’s missing is focal point mechanism that correlates and connects the work of all WG’s.
