Inter-CA collaboration. HealthGov will continue to lead a number of inter-CA TWGs that have been formed during the first two years. These TWGs serve as the venue where key technical areas that require inter-CA coordination and collaboration are discussed and issues that affect implementation are resolved. HealthGov is currently leading the TWG on MCH, PhilHealth financing, and HIV/AIDS. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has also assumed the lead of the family planning TWG from the PRISM project that is winding down in 2009. As new issues emerge that necessitate inter-CA response new TWGs or inter-CA task forces will be created. HealthGov will also continue to participate and provide technical inputs to TWGs spearheaded by other CAs (named in brackets): monitoring and evaluation (HPDP), TB (TB LINC), CSR (HPDP), behavior change communication (HealthPRO), and the Family Health Book initiative (HPDP). The results of these various collaborations are translated in the form of regional and provincial TA activities of HealthGov. For example, the Family Health Book implemented by HPDP in Compostela Valley is supported by HealthGov (and other CAs). The ICV compliance monitoring tool that was developed by an inter-CA working group was integrated in the CSR plans of the different provinces. The strategic directions for the HIV/AIDS sites that were agreed upon by the HIV/AIDS TWG serve as the basis for developing the TA plan for the 11 HIV/AIDS high-risk sites covered by the project. In addition to the USAID inter-CA collaboration, HealthGov’s technical inputs to the various DOH-initiated TWGs on CSR+, ICV, and TA to the CHDs are also deemed significant especially in the development of tools and guidelines as well as in their use and field implementation. At the regional and provincial level, HealthGov will provide leadership in coordinating inter-CA TA activities. This includes organizing regular (at least once per quarter) regional meeting to jointly plan and operationalize the implementation of the provincial TA plans, and other collaborative efforts (such as CHD capacity building) on an as- needed basis. Specific coordination and collaboration activities are articulated in the individual TA plans of the 23 provinces. (See also Chapter 5 Regional implementation strategies and TA plans).
