Secretariat Monitoring is the performance monitoring of Global Fund Secretariat’s organizational priorities and operations. It contributes to the assessment of the health of the Secretariat, including delivery against key annual priorities, core operating functions and Secretariat processes, in order to achieve the objectives of the Strategy. Regular data generation and analysis is conducted by teams across all areas of the Global Fund, drawing from data generated through programmatic monitoring as well as internal systems.
Monitoring Secretariat Performance to Drive Data Use and Facilitate Learning
Secretariat Monitoring aims to create an organizational culture of continuous learning and improvement, by regularly generating performance data. This enables oversight and decision-making by teams and Global Fund management related to the implementation of organizational initiatives and business processes that are crucial for delivering the Strategy. Decisions may include organizational structure or process redesign, replenishment and communications strategies, market shaping priorities, staff learning and wellbeing strategies and financial and resource management. In some cases, this data can also be used in Strategic Performance Reports if there is a high strategic relevance.
Performance and Accountability
Some Secretariat Monitoring data is generated through Performance and Accountability (P&A) monitoring, an internal performance management tool that provides teams and Global Fund management with visibility into organizational health. It monitors how the various functions of the Global Fund Secretariat are delivering the Secretariat’s annual organizational priorities, towards the achievement of the Strategy, as well as how key business processes are operating at important points in the Global Fund lifecycle. P&A monitoring leverages relevant insights from Programmatic monitoring, including Strategic initiative results to provide additional insights. Reporting is done on a quarterly basis, in order to provide frequent and rapid data to inform Global Fund Secretariat decision-making and improve operational performance.
