Health Expenditure and Livelihoods Support Program

Better coordination or shared reporting and reliance on government’s own systems would ease the burden of monitoring and reporting the implementation of crisis response programs. Developing an effective reporting and monitoring system during a pandemic is difficult because of competing demands on staff time. This is accentuated when other development partners providing complementary support similarly impose reporting requirements. Basing the reporting requirements on the monitoring systems of the government’s own response plan would help reduce this burden as would better coordination and sharing of reports among development partners.
