Busan: Strong leaders not taking a back seat
At the end of November, world leaders gathered in Busan, Korea to discuss progress on the implementation of the Paris Declaration and the integration of aid effectiveness into the development agenda.
The Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness resulted in a document describing the way forward called the Busan Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation, which was signed by ministers of developed and developing countries as well as civil society.
This document, however, was not agreed upon without debate. And leading the developing countries’ push for greater ownership of aid was Rwanda’s President, Paul Kagame.
Program Focus
In Sierra Leone, MLI is helping the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS) to increase its capacity to account for and report on all government and donor health expenditures and to build a financial management system capable of efficiently generating the information required for decision-making. In addition, MLI is helping the Ministry to harmonize development assistance, moving toward a Sector-wide Approach, an IHP+ Country Compact, and potentially a pool funding arrangement.

Even though I have worked in Sierra Leone in the past, the role of MLI Country Lead has given me the opportunity to build upon these previous experiences and to work closely with members of the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MOHS), to support the implementation of health policies and reforms that they have prioritized.
