The Health Metrics Network (HMN) was launched in 2005 with the goal of increasing the availability and use of timely and reliable health information. It aims to do this by coordinating investments in core country health information systems. The HMN has three main objectives: establish a common health information system framework, strengthen individual country health information systems, and improve access to and use of health data. It has provided tools like an assessment tool and strategic planning tool to help countries evaluate and improve their health information systems. To date, the HMN has facilitated health information system assessments and planning in over 66 countries.

Here are a few key things I would consider taking forward based on the GLAAS results and discussion:
- Schedule time at our next senior management/country team meeting to review and discuss the GLAAS results for our country/countries in more depth. This will help identify strengths and gaps to inform our strategy and planning.
- Review our country strategy and annual workplans to ensure they are adequately addressing any gaps or weaknesses identified through GLAAS related to strengthening national systems. This may require revising objectives, targets or activities.
- Engage with other stakeholders like the government through our existing coordination platforms to discuss GLAAS findings and explore opportunities for collaboration to strengthen areas like policy development, planning, monitoring and finance mobil

'indigenous' funding in 30 months
“Deborah Birx, the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, has directed
U.S. agencies involved with PEPFAR to reach a benchmark of
directing 40% of their PEPFAR funding to indigenous
organizations in the next 18 months, and to reach 70%
indigenous funding in the next 30 months.” by Michael Igoe, July 16, 2018

4. Respond to the PEPFAR Indigenous Partner
Directive by envisioning the role FBO could play
in implementing PEPFAR-supported programs
throughout Africa and developing a strategic plan
and organizational matrix to achieve your vision.

5. Using the CCIH platform, establish a network of
CCIH members to provide communication,
coordination, mentoring, and other support for
applying for and implementing PEPFAR-funded
programs.

6. 3Use Virtual Communities of Practice for
communicating and mentoring among CCIH
members and PEPFAR programs in each
country.

7. • During the past two decades, technology-enhanced
communication and collaborative learning initiatives have
converged to produce innovative and powerful learning
platforms
• Online social networking enables communities of practice
that offer the potential to bring together temporally and
geographically dispersed actors to work towards a
common purpose
• Through technology, communities of practice are being
implemented across health-care areas, such as integrated
care, health visiting services, and nurse education
• These virtual communities, such as Project ECHO, enable
collaborative learning that transcends geography.

11. • If you have never responded to CDC Notice of Funding
Opportunities (NOFOs), suggest you ask FBO and others
who are funded by PEPFAR for advice, obtain copies of
successful NOFO applications, and, after you prepare an
application, ask theses FBO and others to critique it
• If you receive funding from CDC for a specific project,
find similar projects that have been successful and visit
the projects to learn why they are successful and how
they overcame important programmatic challenges
• Indigenous FBO who are successful CDC PEPFAR partners
could mentor other FBO on a regular basis, using Project
ECHO, if CCIH forms an FBO PEPFAR network for
supporting HIV programs across sub-Sahel Africa
