Background
Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health had been implementing the health sector Transformation plan as part of the envisioning exercise and GTP II which was launched in 2016. The health sector transformation plan (HSTP) is financed in different means and from multiple donors which require well-organized grant and finance management
The number of grants that EPSA receives from development partners and its operational activities is steadily increasing both in volume and diversity. With this increase comes the responsibility to effectively and efficiently monitor the program and financial performance of each grant and ensure that we are in compliance with the applicable development partner’s requirements. Hence, it becomes more important for EPSA to improve its capacity to improve its supply chain management and financial management system and meet development partners’ expectations to be recognized as a dependable partner and to attract future funding.
Despite the importance of its objectives and the dedication and effort of its staff, Finance, and Internal Audit lack sufficient skills and capacity to fulfill the challenging remit. Building the capacity of the directorate is a timely intervention in the face of the increasing amount of funding and operations from various sources, particularly the SDG fund. The coordination of interventions of this major funding mechanism within the context of the sector-wide approach is critical.
