2009 Annual Activity Report for MLI Senegal
Since Senegal’s Ministry of Health and Prevention (MHP) had decided to meet the new challenges related to local and global initiatives such as the Poverty Reduction Strategy and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the Ministry of Health began carrying out reforms intended to improve the management of outside support and the effectiveness of health expenses with the assistance of the Ministerial Leadership Initiative (MLI). Thus, the MLI, which has been cooperating with the Ministry of Health and Prevention since 2008, will present several of its accomplishments in this report.

Improving Country Capacity for Aid Coordination: Experiences from Five MLI Countries
This issue brief is based on the findings from a questionnaire administered to Ministry of Health staff in the five Ministerial Leadership Initiative for Global Health (MLI) countries: Ethiopia, Mali, Nepal, Senegal, and Sierra Leone.

The MLI Model for Advancing Country Ownership
In the world of global aid and development, country ownership has become one of the most debated issues. But what does country ownership mean in practical terms to donors, development partners, civil society, and country governments? If the goal is to put each country into the driver’s seat, how can we get there? For nearly five years, the Ministerial Leadership Initiative for Global Health -MLI- has forged new pathways for advancing this critical development issue, working with five countries in Africa and Asia. What emerged is a distinctive MLI Model to advance country ownership.
In the Driver's Seat
In the Driver’s Seat, a series of interviews by journalist John Donnelly posted on the MLI Leading Global Health blog, discusses the dynamics of country ownership with leaders from developing countries, US government, and development partners. The discussion broaches topics regarding how country ownership is incorporated into their work, why country ownership is gaining traction in development, and the perceived risks of country ownership.
Featuring Interviews with:
Margaret Chan
Rajiv Shah
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
Dialogue with Development Partners
To understand and gain perspective on how country ownership is gaining greater traction in MLI countries and the subsequent effects, journalist Nellie Bristol conducted interviews with development partners in Nepal, Sierra Leone, and Mali. This series, posted on MLI’s Leading Global Health blog, explores the growing commitment to country ownership by donors, other implementing partners, and developing country governments resulting in increased support for government health sector plans and reduced aid fragmentation.

Leading Global Health Blog
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.
