Further progress in improving health standards will not be achieved without more predictable, aligned and harmonised results-oriented health aid.
| The Task team on Health as a Tracer Sector (TT HATS) is an informal international health forum. It is supported by the OECD and includes specialists in aid effectiveness and health representing multilateral institutions, bilateral development agencies, developing countries and NGOs. Its mandate is to provide the Working party on Aid Effectiveness and its subsidiary working groups with concrete illustrations of progress and remaining bottlenecks in the implementation of the Paris Declaration and Accra Agenda for Action in the health sector. |

"HATS is building on an existing body of work" - The Key Groups
The meeting on Aid Effectiveness in Health (December 2007) built on an existing significant body of work related to aid effectiveness in health including:
-
The three High Level Fora on the Health MDGs and the Scaling-up for Better Health initiative, co-piloted by the WHO and the World Bank, which demonstrated the need for more predictable and sustainable financing and more harmonised and co-ordinated aid within country-led health plans.
-
17 Best practice principles for Global Health Partnerships (GHPs) activities at the country level which derive from the Paris Declaration and were endorsed by theboards of major GHPs.
-
The “ Three Ones” (One agreed HIV/AIDS action framework, one national HIV/AIDS coordinating authority, One agreed country-level HIV/AIDS system for monitoring and evaluation) proposed by UNAIDS and endorsed by the international community in 2005.
-
Innovative financing mechanisms including the International Finance Facility on immunisation and Unitaid which provide additional, predictable and sustainable sources of funding for specific activities.
-
Harmonisation for Health in Africa (HHA), a regional initiative co-sponsored by WB, AfDB, Unicef, WHO-AFRO and UNFPA which aims to provide country demand-based joint additional technical assistance and serve as a learning regional platform on ways to scale-up for better health in SSA.
