ABSTRACT Aidspan today published a report entitled "An Analysis of Global Fund Grant Ratings". The key finding of the report is: "Global Fund grants have shown distinct improvements in performance over the past three years. Each year, International NGOs have performed significantly better, on average, than any other PR type. Non-international NGOs have performed slightly less well, on average, than Ministries of Health, but they have steadily improved, from being the least well-performing PR type (out of ten) in 2006, to being the second best in 2008. Overall, Ministries of Finance have been the least well-performing PR type, and UNDP the second least well-performing." The report can be downloaded, in English only, from www.aidspan.org/aidspanpublications.

Aidspan today published a report entitled “An Analysis of Global Fund Grant Ratings”. The key finding of the report is:

“Global Fund grants have shown distinct improvements in performance over the past three years. Each year, International NGOs have performed significantly better, on average, than any other PR type. Non-international NGOs have performed slightly less well, on average, than Ministries of Health, but they have steadily improved, from being the least well-performing PR type (out of ten) in 2006, to being the second best in 2008. Overall, Ministries of Finance have been the least well-performing PR type, and UNDP the second least well-performing.”

The report can be downloaded, in English only, from www.aidspan.org/aidspanpublications.

The background to the report is as follows:

The Global Fund specifies, as a core part of its philosophy, its belief in “performance-based funding.” To facilitate this, each time the Fund receives a request from a principal recipient (PR) for a new disbursement of grant money, the Fund provides a rating of the PR’s recent work, which is always one of the following:

• A rating: Meeting or exceeding expectations
• B1 rating: Adequate
• B2 rating: Inadequate but potential demonstrated
• C rating: Unacceptable

Any rating other than “A” therefore means that the grant is not meeting expectations.

The Global Fund does not make its grant ratings easily available to members of the public, and has not published any report analyzing these ratings. In an effort to fill this gap, Aidspan has conducted an analysis of the 1,934 grant ratings that the Fund has provided over the past three years. To help with this, Aidspan has assigned a score to each rating, as follows:

• A rating: Score of 100
• B1 rating: Score of 60
• B2 rating: Score of 30
• C rating: Score of 0

Thus, Aidspan is not using its own judgment, from one grant to the next, regarding what score should be given to a grant. Aidspan is simply taking the Global Fund’s ratings and is converting them, using a consistent and neutral system, into a score that provides a basis for aggregation and comparison.

Based on this scoring system, Aidspan has computed average scores for all grants, all PRs and all countries. By definition, the highest possible average score is 100, and the lowest possible average score is zero.

In cases where average scores have been computed based on only a small number of ratings, e.g. for individual grants, or for PRs or countries that have only one grant, small differences between average scores (e.g. between 66 and 68) should not be regarded as statistically significant. And of course, the GF’s ratings are not a perfect measure of grant effectiveness and progress, and thus, nor are Aidspan’s scores.

All grants have been analyzed according to whether the PR is:

• Civil Society/Private: Faith-Based Org. (FBO)
• Civil Society/Private: International NGO
• Civil Society/Private: Non-International NGO
• Civil Society/Private: Other
• Government: Ministry of Finance
• Government: Ministry of Health
• Government: Other
• Multilateral: Other
• Multilateral: UNDP

Allocation of each PR to one of these categories was carried out by the Global Fund, with one exception: The Fund uses a single category for NGOs. Aidspan has divided that into two sub-groups: international NGOs, and non-international NGOs.

Important findings in the report, beyond the key one at the start of this article, include the following:

1. Within the countries where UNDP serves as PR (which are usually difficult countries), UNDP has performed no better or worse than have other PRs, on average. Within those countries, the best-performing PR type has been international NGOs.
2. Grants in the Eastern Europe & Central Asia region performed significantly better, on average, than grants in any other region.
3. The Sub-Saharan Africa: Southern Africa region was the second least well-performing region (out of eight) in 2006, and the least well-performing in 2007 and 2008.
4. The Latin America & the Caribbean region improved from being the least well-performing region in 2006 to being the second best-performing in 2007 and 2008.
5. The ten highest-ranked countries in terms of average grant performance, beginning with the best, were: #1 – Bulgaria; #2 – Multi-country Africa (RMCC); #3 – Bhutan; #4 – Rwanda; #5 – Mongolia; #6 – El Salvador; #7 – Jamaica; #8 – Armenia; #9 – Ghana; and #10 – Georgia.
6. The ten lowest-ranked countries in terms of average grant performance, beginning with the lowest-ranked, were: #114 – Timor-Leste; #113 – Papua New Guinea; #112 – Algeria; #111 – Turkey; #110 – Kenya; #109 – Congo (Republic of the); #108 – Uganda; #107 – Bolivia; #106 – Guinea-Bissau; and #105 – Mozambique.
7. The ten highest-ranked PRs in terms of average grant performance, beginning with the best, were: #1 – El Salvador – Ministry of Health; #2 – Russian Federation – Partners In Health; #3 – Russian Federation – Open Health Institute; #4 – Armenia – World Vision International; #5 – Bulgaria – Ministry of Health; #6 – Nigeria – Association For Reproductive And Family Health; #7 – Nepal – Population Services International; #8 – Multi-country Africa (RMCC) – South African Medical Research Council; #9 – South Africa – Provincial Health Department of the Western Cape; and #10 – Bhutan – Gross National Happiness Commission.
8. Of the 27 grants where at least the five most recent ratings have all been “A”, 9 had Ministry of Health PRs, 6 had PRs that were “Government: Other,” 5 had international NGO PRs, 4 had UNDP PRs, 2 had non-international NGO PRs, and 1 had a private sector PR.

Tables in the report include the following:

• Table 1: Division of grants between the different types of PR
• Table 4: Average score for each PR type, by year
• Table 5: Average score for each region, by year
• Table 6: Average score for each disease, by year
• Table 11: Average score for each country, with rating details
• Table 12: Highest and lowest ranked countries, with rating details
• Table 13: Average score for each country and PR, with rating details
• Table 14: Highest and lowest ranked PRs, with rating details
• Table 15: Grants that have recently done well, with rating details
• Table 16: Average score for each international NGO, with rating details
• Table 17: Average score for each non-international NGO, with rating details
• Table 18: Average score for each PR type, in countries where UNDP operates

The rest of this issue of GFO is filled entirely with Table 11, a lengthy table which lists all countries that have received Global Fund grants that the Fund has rated. For each country, the table shows each grant and its ratings. It also shows the country’s average score, and how that country was therefore ranked, based on its average score, in comparison with the other countries.

Thus, using the first row as an example, Afghanistan’s grant ratings of B1, B1, B2, B1, B1, B2, B2 and B2 across three grants give it an average score of 45, which means that that country was ranked 103^rd out of the 114 countries that were ranked.

Countries whose grants have been assigned fewer than four ratings are not scored and therefore not ranked.

Notes:

1. The first digit after the first “-” in each grant number shows the Round number.
2. The last character in the grant number shows H, M or T for HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and TB grants respectively. It shows I, C or S for various forms of mixed grant.
3. For further details (excluding ratings) regarding each grant, look up the country and then the grant number at www.aidspan.org/grants or www.theglobalfund.org/programs/search.aspx.
