Challenges
Difficulty in scheduling council meetings so that decisions are made in timely manner
Work plan activities are behind schedule due to delay in take off
Insufficient visibility for MeTA in health sector circles and media as there are no results to change the landscape yet
Dissemination of available information from stake-holders is still not effective

Country Priorities in the work plan
Progressive Data Disclosure/information sharing
Quarterly dissemination of medicines availability and price monitoring surveys
Ease access to National Drug Authority (NDA) information by stakeholders
Increase public awareness of rational drug use
Promote transparency in planning, provision and accountability of medicines by the MoH
Improve working of the multi-stakeholder process

Milestones in the workplan implementation
Multi-stakeholder process is working
Data disclosure: the tool provided a forum for discussion on policy and practice and the gaps therein
Activities are on-going as per workplan and effects are already being felt e.g. MOH data collected into central repository on procurement of medicines
Establishment of a functional secretariat which oversees activities
