1. INTRODUCTION

This CLO/ICP Staff Meeting was held in Suva, Fiji from 15 - 19

August 1985. There were 20 participants, including the Regional Director

of WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific, the WHO Representative

and Programme Coordinator for the South Pacific, 4 Country Liaison

Officers (CLOs) and 1 Acting CLO, 11 Intercountry Project Staff (ICP),

and 2 Administ ra ti ve Assistants (see Annex 1). The Agenda is presented

in Annex 2.

The objectives of the meeting were:

to coordinate and programme 1986 collaborative activities;

to discuss problems in programme implementation;

to consider how best to make use of available WHO and country

resources; and

to share information essential to more effective coordination.

2. WELCOME ADDRESS - DR. M. FELSZER, WRC, SUVA

Dr. Felszer addressed Dr. H. Nakajima, Regional Director, and

participants in the meeting as follows:.

"IT IS MY VERY GREAT PLEASURE TO WELCOME YOU ALL TO THIS STAFF

MEETING IN SUVA. THIS MEETING IS A VERY SPECIAL ONE AS WE ARE HONOURED

AND FORTUNATE IN HAVING HERE AMONG US, OUR REX;IONAL DIRECTOR, DR.

NAKAJIMA. ALLOW ME, DR. NAKAJIMA, IN THE NAME OF MY COLLEAGUES, TO

EXTEND TO YOU A VERY WA~ WELCOME AND THE WISH OF A VERY PLEASABT STAY IN

FIJI, AND TO THANK YOU FOR HAVING TAKEN OFF TIME, ALBEIT A SHORT ONE,

FROM YOUR MANY CCMMI'lMElfTS TO BE WITH US.

AS ALL OF YOU ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF WHO'S ROLE IN THE ACHIEViXENT

OF HEALTH FOR ALL, YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME, THAT THE BEST WAY TO

SUCCESSFULLY CARRY OUT CUR RESPONSIBILITIES WITHIN THE OIiGANIZATION IS

WITH A TEAM APPROACH CONCEPT. IN FOliMULATING AN AGENDA, THIS CONCEPT WAS

TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. EACH OF US WORK WITHIN A SPECIFIC DISCIPLINE,

Page 7: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-4-

HOWEVER ALL THE DISCIPLINES ARE IITERTWIBED .urn NO ONE CAN AFFORD TO WORK

ALONE AND IN ISOLATION IF WE EXPECT TO ACC(I{PLISH THE OBJECTI VES SET

FORTH BY WHO.

I WOULD LllCE TO SEE FRANK AND OPEN DISCUSSION, A VOIDING IRRELEVANT

BUT NOT CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICIIJ(S, THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH GOODWILL

TOWARDS EACH OTHER AND SINCE OUR RIDIONAL DIRECTOR IS .AMONG US I .AM SURE

THAT HE WILL BE A GUIDING FORCE IN THE CONDUCTING OF THIS MEETING.

AS I KNOW THAT EACH OF YOU IS A RESPONSIBLE AND CAPABLE

PROFESSIONAL, I HAVE TRUST THAT YOU WILL NOT SPARE EFFORTS IN MAKING THIS

A YERY FRUITFUL AND SUCCESSFUL MEETING. "

3. OPENING lill'iARKS - DR. H. NAKAJIMA, RIDIONAL DIRECTOR

Dr. Nakajima, Regional Director, talked about several important

points affecting the various levels of the Organization. He referred to

difficulties met in coordinating activities in the South Pacific. These,

he said, were partly due to political inst" bili ty in many of the Island

countries as well as to the absorptive capacity of some· of the

countries. To make maximum use of available national and WHO resources,

he said that it may become necessary to reassign a few of the currently

Suva-based ICP Staff to some countries in the future.

At country level, he saw no need to reduce the staff and individual

country budget allocations. Careful monitoring and supervision of the

management of resources, particularly of funds, would be required as a

part of increasing WHO financial input to national health programmes. At

the global level, there will be more emphasis on audit and control as a

part of the new programme budget policy.

He further stated that we must now look beyond the year 2000. A

complete review of health manpower development is being undertaken to

consider the changing role of the medical practitioner. It is envisaged

that the doctor will become a commL.ity leader as in the past in parts of

Asia and Europe.

Medical training is being reviewed. In some countries, doctors and

especially specialists, are being over produced. There has also been a

change in emphasis in some countries from the training of foreign

students overseas, to the provision of staff who can assist with

appropriate training in the student's own country or region.

A critical mass of new leaders may need to be produced to apply

Health for All strategies. The medical and nursing professions need to

review training programmes to enable them to adjust, adapt and survive as

leaders after the year 2000.

The transfer of technology is an important area to consider. This

is, in fact, the transfer of individual knowledge, as in the development

of a comprehensive hepatitis control programme in China utilizing

expertise in epidemiology, vaccine production and related areas. A

similar approach may be applied to filariasis control in the South

Pacific.

Dr. Nakajima concluded by informing staff members that he was

pleased to have the opportunity to meet them socially, and indi vi dually

if required.

Dr. Nakajima was thanked by Dr. Felszer for his enlightening

remarks and for noting that intercountry projects will remain an

important part of WHO collaboration in the South Pacific.

4. OBJECTIVES OF THE MEETIlG AND WHO COLLABORATION

IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC - DR. M FELSZER, WRC, SUVA

Dr. Felszer addressed the meeting. His address is as follows:

"I HA VE BEEIi' ASSIGNED TO SPEAK AGAlli TODAY Oli THE OBJECTI ViS OF

THIS MEETIlG AND THE ROLE or WHO IIi 1986-1987 BIEDltII.

Ili ORDER TO MAKE OUR IliDIVIDUAL !liD COMBINED EFFORTS MEANINGFUL AND

ACCCMPLISH THE EXPECTED RESULTS, IT IS IMPORTAliT THAT WE CONTINUOUSLY

IMPROVE, ADAPT AND ADJUST OUR ACTIVIT!ES IN THE INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES.

~ .. '. ,,'.

Page 9: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-6-

THIS MEETING HAS BEEN CALLED WITH THIS AIM IN MIND. A SPECIAL

HIGHLIGHT OF THIS MEETI~ IS THE OPPORTUlUTY TO RECEIVE GUIDANCE FR(J4. DR.

NAKAJIMA ON THE ISSUES IN VOL YEn.

THE OVERALL OBJECTIVES ARE TO ENHANCE PERFOHMANCE, AVOID

OVERLAPPIlJ;, IRRELEVANT TRAVEL, AND ELIMINATE DUPLICATION.

A NlItBER OF TOPICS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA, WHICH, IT IS

HOPED, YILL BE CONDUCIVE TO THE ACC(J4.PLISHMENT OF THE OVERALL AND

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES.

THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THIS MEETING ARE:

1) TO COORDINATE AND PROORAMME 1986 COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITIES. THIS

EXERCISE WILL PRO VIDE CLOs WITH MATERIAL FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION

iI'ITH GOVERNMENTS, AND THUS PREPARE THE TERRAIN FOR THE ICP STAFF.

IT WILL ALSO HELP TO MAINTAI1 PLANNED SCHEDULES, AS THE GOVERNMENT

OFFICIALS WILL HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE, WELL IN ADVANCE, OF PROPOSED

ICP VISITS AND HOPEFULLY A VOID LAST MINUTE CANCELLATIONS ON THE

PART OF THE GOVERNMENTS, AS IT SO OFTEN HAPPENS.

2) TO DISCUSS COUNTRY REQUIREMENTS WHICH SHOULD REFLECT ORIENTATION OF

WHO'S COLLABORATIVE PROORAMMES TOWARDS INCREASED TECHNICAL

COOPERATION WITH THE COUNTRIES IN SUPPORT OF NATIONAL HEALTH FOR

ALL STRATE)} IES. AS A RESULT, IT IS HOPED, THAT PROJECTED COUNTRY

.ltEQUIREMENT ACTIVITIES AND REQUIRED ICP SUPPORT IN 1986 WILL BEC(]<1E

MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE.

3) THIS MEETING WILL PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS PROBLFlol:S

ENCOUNTERED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROORAMME POLICIES AND PROPOSE

POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE ACTION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. ABOVE ALL, IT

IS HOPED THAT THIS MEETING WILL BE THE INSTRUMENT FOR DEVELOPING

BETTER C(]<1MUNICATION AMONG ICP MFlol:BERS AND BETWEEN THE ICP TEAM AND

CLOs.

Page 10: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-7-

4) AS WE ALL KNOW, EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMMES REQUIRES

PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN WHO AND THE COUNTRIES. THIS MEETING,THEREFORE,

HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO USE A COUNTRY BY COUNTRY APPROACH TO

CONSIDERING HOW TO MAKE BEST USE OF THE A VAILABLE WHO AND COUNTRY

RESOURCES. A KEY OBJECTI VE WILL BE TO PROPERLY COORDINATE THE

STAFF ACTIVITIES, INTERCOUNTRY AND COUNTRY, TAKING INTO

CONSIDERATON THE NEEDS OF EACH PARTICULAR COUNTRY.

WHERE THERE ARE COUNTRY LIAISON OFFICERS, THESE WILL CONTINUE TO

ASSURE EFFECT I VE COORDINATION. FOR THE OTHER COUNTRIES, ICP STAFF

WILL PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE OVERALL WHO COUNTRY PROGRAMMES

COMBINED WITH THEIR OWN PROJECTS.

5) ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF THIS MEETING ARE EXPECTED IN THE SHARING OF

INFORMATION INTENDED TO LEAD TO EFFECTIVE COORDINATION.

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BRIEFLY OUTLINE THE ROLE

OF WHO COLLABORATION TO SOUTH PACIFIC COUNTRIES FOR 1986-1987.

IT WILL BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CAREFULLY MANAGE OUR PLAN OF WORK

SO AS TO ENSURE THAT IT CONTRIBUTES TO PROGRESS TOWARDS HEALTH FOR ALL.

THIS REQUIRES, AS I SAID BEFORE, A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN WHO AND THE

NATIONAL HEALTH AUTHORITIES, SO THAT WHO'S ACTIVITIES WILL BE IN THE

MAINSTREAM OF HEALTH DEVELOPMENT RATHER THAN IN AD HOC REQUESTS AND

PERIPHERAL ACTI VITIES. THIS MEANS THAT PROGRAMMES OF COOPERATION WILL BE

STRESSED RATHER THAN ISOLATED PROJECTS.

IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC WHO COUNTRY AND INTERCOUNTRY STAFF WILL

CONTINUE TO BE THE BACKBONE OF PROGRAMME COOPERATION. HOWEVER, THESE

ACTIVITIES WILL NEED TO BE TARGETED TO KEY ISSUES OF HEALTH

DEVELOPMENTS. ONE OF THESE KEY ISSUES WILL CONTINUE TO BE HEALTH

MANPOWER DEVELOFMENT, THIS REJ'LECTS THE iXPHASIS GIVD BY THE COUNTRIES

AND AREAS OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC TO MEETING THE MANPOWER REQUIREKEITS lOR

Page 11: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-8-

THE DEVELOH!:ENT OF A HEALTH SYSTEM BASED ON PRIMARY HEALTH CARE. HEALTH

MANPOWER TOOETHER WITH PROORAMMES WHICH ARE CONSIDERED OF IMPORTANCE FOR

THE ATTAINMENT OF HEALTH FOR ALL, SUCH AS:

(i) DISEASE PREVENTION AND CONTROL.

(ii) HEALTH SYSTEM DEVELOH!:ENT.

(iii) ORGANIZATION OF HEALTH SYSTEMS BASED ON PRIMARY HEALTH CARE;

AND

(i v) PRCMOTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH WILL BE STRESSED AND THE

IN-COUNTRY TRAINING WILL ALSO RECEIVE SPECIAL ATTENTION.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OF GREAT BENEFIT TO ALL OF US IF A FEW

MANAGEMENT SESSIONS COULD HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED ON THIS OPPORTUNITY, SO AS

TO GIVE US A BETTER GRASPS ON THE FUTURE ROLE OF WHO COLLABORATION TO THE

SOUTH PACIFIC COUNTRIES BEYOND 1986-1987, AS WELL AS OF PROJECT

IMPLEMENTATION AND PROJECT MONITORING AND ON BUrGET STATUS REPORTING.

UNFORTUNATELY, WPRO PERSONNEL, WHO COULD HAVE CONDUCTED THESE SESSIONS

ARE HEAVILY CCMMITTED WITH OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES AND THEREFORE COULD NOT

TAKE PLACE. I AM, CONFIDENT THAT THERE WILL BE OTHER OCCASIONS WHEREBY

WE SHALL PARTAKE AT SUCH SESSIONS.

I SINCERELY HOPE, THAT THIS MEETING WILL PROVIDE US WITH MORE

EFFECTIVE MEANS OF PROVIDING COOPERATION."

5. PROJECTED COUNTRY ACTIVITIES AND

REQUIRED ICP SUPPORT IN 1986

and preventing diseases in Kiribati through the PHC approach waB shown to

the participants.

7. IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING OF PROJECTS

IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC

Dr. Palmer presented a paper on this subject (Annex 4). The main

points covered by Dr. Palmer were:

1) WPRO is tending to the concept of managing "Programmes and

Acti vi ties" rather than "Projects". This is leading to a broader total

country view of work.

2) In order to achieve more effective programmes of cooperation

wi th countries, there should be a greater emphasis on joint WHO programme

reviewB.

Page 13: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-10-

3) In addition to assessing overall programme development, the

programme reviews should facilitate specific implementation and

moni to ring steps. The WHO staff could supply pertinent data to enable

the reviews to be undertaken efficiently.

4) In order to monitor programmes and activities, use has to be

made of the Budget status Reports and other auxilliary documents issued

by the Regional Office. For the reports to be fully effective, CLOs

should endeavour to keep them up-to-date with details of requests for

implementation and reprogramming.

The paper generated a great deal of discussion. The WRC explained

that while agreeing that the notion of a joint WHO/Government programme

review could be good, participation in the review should always be

cleared through the responsible Regional Adviser and Director in WPRO.

The need was expressed to have a clear view in our own minds of the

differences between:

Programmes

Projects

Activities.

The general need to review components of a programme and assist

acti vities in the light of U,.'l aims of the programmes was accepted.

However, the concept of a project comprising a number of inter-related

activities in a country cannot be entirely disregarded especially as this

is the way some countries and even other UN agencies such as UNDP and

UNFPA like to operate.

On the question of Budget Status Reports, Dr. Palmer elaborated on

the reservations of the Regional Office in releasing the reports to the

countries. The Reports often have detailed comments and remarks which

are confidential to the Organization. Despite this, some CLOs felt that

it was not realistic to expect countries to be involved in detailed

planning, but then not permit them to have the la+3st data relating to

implementation. Mr. Chandra, during his recel visit to Suva, had

promised to see whether a modified version of the B".iget Status Report

Page 14: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-11-

could be prepared omitting these confidential details. This modified

version could be issued to the countries and would meet their needs. The

CLOs expressed great interest in this idea, but if such a document is

introduced, every effort should be made to keep it up-to-date as far as

possible.

A question was raised on reprogramming. Dr. Palmer mentioned that

much of the reprogramming which occurs could be eliminated if more

realistic planning had occurred in the first instance. He went on to say

that request for reprogramming should be submitted with the Government's

approval to the request. It is not sufficient for the Government to

enquire whether WHO would in principle agree to the change.

definite statement from the Government is needed.

A more

Before ending the discussion the WIlC said that relevant BSRs and

fellowship monitoring details should be included in the briefing

documents for senior officials passing through Suva on their way to

review country programmes.

8. FELLOWSHIPS

Mrs. Zullah summarized the present position in regard to

fellowships. Of the 18 areas of responsibility of the 'liRC, 16 have

Active fellowships programmes. During the biennium 1984-1985, 35C

fellows were placed. This is a big burden on the Suva Office especially

as the office has become more involved than in the past in the management

of fellowship prgrammes for the Pacific Island countries.

Mrs. Zullah covered many aspects of the fellowship scheme.

Particular points which she brought up and the conclusions reached during

the meeting are summarized below:

FUs - CLOs were reminded that processing is made easier if the

medical clearances and the necessary photographs are included with the

application forms. FAFs for 1987 should be submitted by the 30th of June

1986. Procedures in implementing fellowship awards and group study tours

were presented (Table 1).

Page 15: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-12-

Review Lists - The Revisw List is important in the administration

of fellowships. It provides a summary of the outstanding man-months

involved and the CLO is able to see which slot should be used for funding

the fellowship. This should always be included in the covering letter

with the FAFs as it prevents misunderstanding and delays.

The Review List has been issued every six months or so in the past

but the Regional Office will try to produce it at 2-3 month interval in

the future. CLOs should endeavour to up-date the List manually in U.e

intervening periods.

Regional Office Procedures - Mrs. Zullah distri l.·,;ted a summary of

procedures for processing applications for individu/J.' fellowships and

group/study tours. The Regional Office usually rec,res 3 months tc

complete actions on training activities of this nature.

Placement of Fellows in Fiji - An increasing number of fellows are

now coming to Suva for their training - the number growing from 54 in

1984 to around 80 this year. The Dental and Pharmacy courses conducted

by FSM have been cut back.

Medical fellowships are restricted in that a quota of 9 overseas

students has been set in the MBBS I. This problem is compounded by the

fact that the FSM Academic Board does not make its final selection of

candidates until two weeks before the start of the course. A major

difficul ty is being encountered with the Foundation cou r'ses. Unsui table

stUdents are selected with a resulting high drop-out rate. There is a

need to improve the entire selection process.

Short Courses/Study Tours - Mrs. Zullah mentionEd that complaints

are often received that the course of training which hac been arranged is

not appropriate to the needs of the fellow. To reduce the possi tiL ty of

this occuring, a detailed statement by the fellow on her/his expectations

from the course or tour should be prepared before undertaking the

fellowship and on how the newly acquired knowledge and skills will be

used after returning frem the fellowship.

Page 16: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-13-

Stipends - Mrs. Zullah stated that many fellows have misunderstood

the purpose of stipend. The stipend is to cover room, board and

essential incidentals.

family. Having said

It was not designed to cater for the needs of a

this, she confirmed that the stipend in certain

countries is not sufficient to meet the needs of fellows. The review of

stipend rates is not easy. In some countries it is dependent on the

UNDP, in others it is dependent on the fellow completing a

questionnaire. The meeting felt that it would be easier if WHO itself

obtained rates for a number of hotels, boarding houses, etc. in the

country of training. Even with this approach, there is a problem in

achieving a standard acceptable to all applicable fellows. Some fellows

hold senior posts in their own countries and it is not appropriate to

treat them as under-graduates. Another factor which has to be taken into

account is whether or not the fellow is continuing to receive a salary.

The other problem is that the needs of different fellows vary

substantially. An example was given of a PolyneSian requiring a larger

bed and a greater volume of food than is normally provided in Japan. The

meeting felt that present arrangements for determining stipends are not

satisfactory •

There are many complex problems involved and there is a serious

need for the Regional Office to undertake a thorough investigation of the

problem.

Curtailment of Fellowships - The problem of fellows who return home

before completion of their fellowship was discussed. The option of

providing only a one way ticket was discussed but could not be adopted in

those countries where a return ticket was required for a visa. However,

even in those cases, the ticket should be retained b,y WHO if possible or,

if not, by the bursar of the institution providing the training.

Reports - Obtaining the final report from fellows upon their return

to their respective countries often present difficulties. Suggestions

made to encourage fellows to be prompt in submitting their final report

included the withholding of the fellows' final stipend and/or the

reimbursement of the Airport Departure Tax until the report vas received.

Page 17: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-14-

Evaluation of Fellowship Programmes Periodic reviews of the

fellowship programme are essential. While the management of the scheme

has improved considerably in recent years, there is nevertheless much

room for further improvement. There are cases where the country does not

have the capacity to absorb a big number of fellowships; of donor

agencies competing with each other in providing fellowships; of trainees

being over-trained for the tasks they have to perform; of fellows

continually and/or repeatedly undergoing training; and of officials

attending courses which are not relevant to their work.

The meeting concluded that these observations are all valid; the

si tuation could improve conSiderably if the selection proce1's in the

countries were sufficiently tightened. WHO shoul d continually endeavour

to encourage countries to make realistic appnisal of their manpower

needs and ability to utilize fellowships judiciot;sly. Likewis p , there is

a need for WHO to seriously consider the possibility of properly matching

allocation of WHO funds to fellowships, with the manpower needs and

ability of countries to making fUU use of fellowl,hip provisions.

9. FAREWELL TO RIDIONAL DIRECTOR

In his farewell remarks, Dr. M. Felszer thanked the Regional

Director for coming to Suva as well as for his guidance and participation

during the Meeting. Dr. Felszer said:

"WE HA VE BEEN MOST FORTUNATE THAT OUR MEETING WAS HIGHLIGHTED BY

THE PRESENCE OF THE RID:ONAL DIRECTOR.

DR. NAKAJIMA WILL BE LEAVING TODAY, BUT, HIS GUIDANCE REMAINS AND

IS A PART FOR THE REST OF THE MEETING.

I AM SURE, DR. NAKAJIMA, THAT THIS GATHERING HAS AFFORDED EACH OF

US THE OPPORTUNITY OF CLARIFTING MATTERS, AND A GENERAL BACKGROUND TO

BETTER COORDINATE Allf ,IRRY-ON OUF RESPONSIBILITIES.

-

Page 18: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-15-

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SHARE IN MAKING THIS MEETING

SUCCESSFUL AND ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US, PLEASE KINDLY ACCEPT, DR.

NAKAJlMA, OUR APPRECIATION FOR HAVING ACCEEDED TO CCME TO SUVA. WE WISH

YOU A VERY PLEASANT TRIP."

Dr. H. Nakajima, Regional Director, in his parting comments,

emphasized once again the need for better coordination as well as the

need for the WHO staff to individually and collectively assume the role

of a manager and leader to achieve HFA/2000. He mentioned several entry

points which vary from country to country, in effectively promoting HFA

as a goal, e.g. PHC, CDD, CilS, HMD. He made the observation that

poli tics and health are inevitably inter-related. He stressed the need

to be as much aware as possible of the political environment which

changes as needs change. He likewise referred to the need for gathering

as much information as possible on the changing community needs.

In closing, Dr. H. Nakajima stated that South Pacific is

important; that, -I;here is a need to keep it peaceful; and, that, this

peace could drive world leaders to the Pacific way.

10. AIMINISTRATIVE MATTERS

This agenda item was presented by Dr. Felszer with the aSSistance

of Mrs. Waqausa and Mrs. Zullah. Several topics were covered. A brief

summary of the presentations and discussions is given below:

Imprest Account:- The WHC' s Imprest Account now has a ceiling of

F$30, 000. The account is used for:

a) the running expenses of the wac's office as well as projects;

b) the provision of fellowship stipends for WHO-sponsored students

at FSM, USP and FSN as well as fellows visiting Fiji for short

courses; and

c) Ad-Hoc fUnds for project supplies and eqUipment.

Page 19: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-16-

The WEC has authority to pay for the local purchase of project

supplies and equipment from the Imprest Account provided, a copy of the

Purchase Authorization for the Internal Commitment is sent to the WEC by

liPRO.

Transfer of Funds:- The number of national workshop", trai ning

courses etc. funded by WHO has considerably increased. Funds for local

costs of these acti vi ties are processed by the WRe, Suva after authority

is receieved from the Regional Office.

Travel Advances:- The WEC has now a US$ account with a ceiling of

US$20,OOO at the Westpac Banking Corporation. US Travellers Cheques will

no lOIl€er be kept in the WEC's Office. The US$ account will meet all

advances being issued in US$ Travellers Cheques as well as reimbursements

of Travel Claims.

Mrs. Waqausa mentioned that, in future, she will arrange .ith the

Westpac for all Travellers Cheques to l,e paid in this office rai cr than

having the staff member to visit the Bank.

Supplies and Equipment:- A Flow Chart (Figure 1) showing the steps

involved in the Supplies Services in this region was distributed by Mrs.

Zullah. At present CLOs may purchase expendable items needed for the

day-to-day run~ing of their offices (e.e. typewriter ribbons, pen,

pencils, paper). However, all project supplies and non-expends ble items

like chairs or filing cabinets etc. still required prior approval of the

Regional Office. The request for this approval should be processed

through the Suva Office. When requesting such items, mention should be

made of whether they are locally available or not. If local purchase is

to be recommended,

attached. If only

quotations from three different suppliers should be

one i"'lpplier is available, this should be clesl,y

stated in the transmittal memQrandum to ",'PRO. Local purchase in all

these C6ses has been int<,rpreted to cover purchase in all the Pacific

Island countries.

Pro blems associated with photocopying machines were discussed at

length. The CLOs in Apia and Tarawa said that it was not possi 1;le to

obtain proper services in their countries and, as a consequence, their

machines were often inoperative for long periods. The CLO for Honiara

pointed out that, even when service was available, it was extremely

expensive. In his case, it costs $1,000 a year to maintain and operate a

photocopying machine.

The meeting felt that the Regional Office should be more

sympathetic towards the needs of the island countries for new

photocopiers. A photocopier is now an essential item of office equipment

like a typewriter, and it is extremely difficult for the office to

operate without a working photocopier.

The me~ting felt that provision for a supply of a photocopy macbin~

should automatically be included in the Biennium Budget when it is

prepared.

WHO Workshops in South Pacific Countries:-

1) Most problems are related to the time factor - from the moment

the candidate is selected and FAFs or WP/93 submitted. If time permits,

all documents are sent by pouch otherwise tickets are authorized by PTA.

2) Specific problems related to visas for fellows travelling to

American States. For Solomon Islands, at present, this means provision

of a ticket 1 month before departure dates. There is also apparently a

special form available for completion from WHO. This is to be supplied.

3) Travel advances are a problem in Tonga and may require an

emergency supply of travellers cheques being held by CLO.

4) When travel and itinerary have been approved, CLO should advise

WHO/Suva about ETA and movements of fellows. Otherwise, problems

including delays cannot be avoided.

Page 21: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-18-

5) Delays in funding for workshops, etc. are usually related to

lateness of Government requests and processing of exchange of letters.

6) A checklist for all staff involved in processing of fellowships

was recommended.

7) ICP staff should not get involved at the national level in

discussions on per diem for workshops, as this can create confusion.

11. PROPOSED TRAVEL PLANS OF rcp STAFF IN 1986 (ANNEX 5 (A-D))

The functions of each

discussed by each team leader.

rcp team, and the areas covered were

Individual discussions between ICP staff

and CLOs were suggested in order to discuss specific problems, and the

suggested timing of visits to individual countries. CLOs were requested

to clear the proposed travel plans of ICP staff with the governments of

their respective countries. The proposed travel plans, with necessary

amendments will later be submitted to WPRO for final approval.

A summary of proposed travel in 1986 is presented in Table 2.

11.1 Health Surveillance and Trend Assessment - ICP/HST/OOI

Dr. H. Mehta

Dr. G. Cuboni

Mr. F. Reusar

Mr. C. Allen

Annex 5 A

Annex 5 B

Annex 5 C

Annex 5 D

It was explained Hat HST involves more than just health

stab stics; it also covers :he gross epidemiology of disease especially

communicable diseases. These functions must be treated coherently as one

and should not be separated.

CDD and EPI prog'~es are well underway in all countries while ARI

and Hepatitis B projec1 :'e at the situation analysiS stage.

Page 22: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-19-

Vector-borne disease control is now an integral part of the HST

programme. This unit is able to provide maintenance and supply of

equipment and operational support to countries.

Basically, there is a greater concentration by the team on priority

programme areas as distinct from pure hospital morbidi ty and morteli ty

statistics.

11.2 Maternal and Child Health/Family Planning - ICP!MCH/003

Dr. R. Esmundo Annex 5 E

The presentation centered mainly on the monitoring and reporting

requirements of UNFPA in general and the timing of submission of

moni toring reports in particular as well as the suggeated schedule for

project formulation and submission of project request. Problems with

improving implementation rates were discussed and it was felt that WHO

could effectively assist in improving implementation rates.

It was suggested that ICP!MCH be authorized to participate in

semi-annual operations review of each project bipartite reviews to be

held at an appropriate time prior to the preparation of the semi-annual

Project Progress Report (PPR) which is the single most important input

into tripartite project reviews (TPR). It was likewise suggested that an

early TPR (first quarter of the year). properly planned and organized to

the extent that it yields a realistic implementation/utilization plans

for the year, would give governments and WHO more time during which

planned activities can be successfully implemented and corresponding

resources fully utilized.

11.3 Noncommunicable Disease - lep/NCD/OOI

Dr. K. Gee Annex 5 F

Major efforts are at present concentrated on prevention and

management of rheumatic fever, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Particular attention is given to the training of peripheral workers,

Increasing attention is being ~aid to cancer control,

Page 23: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-20-

The HST and NCD teams proposed that all requests for travel to any

country be made 6-8 weeks prior to aDY visit to ensure clearance by and

readiness of Government for the visit.

11.4 Nutrition - ICP/NUT/OOI

Nutritionist - to be recruited

(Suggeeted activities were listed (Annex 5 G)

Most nutritional problems are divided into two groups:

(1) Infant: due to inadequate feeding

(2) Adult: due to overfeeding.

There is no Nutritionist at present with the ICP teR!'".

It was strongly recommended that a sui table nutri tionist be made

vailable who would coordinate at all times with MCH and NeD programmes.

In most countries, progress largely depends on policy decisionR

supporti ve of developing a more effective intersectoral structure which

can deal with the country's nutrition and related problems.

11.5 'E'ssential Drugs and Vaccines - ICP/EDV/OOI

Mr. H. Stephenson Annex 5 H

There has been a change in direction of this programme, moving away

from the original idea of setting up a bulk storage facility.

Priorities now lie with prcYiding an essential drug list,

m:magement training and the setting up of a sui table bulk purchasing

agency.

A seminar to review and prepare a list of essential drugs including

dosages and indications was recommended.

Microcomputers are recommended for maintaining

warehousing facilities and supply status.

11.5 Community Water and Sanitation - ICP/CWS/OOI

Mr. T. Videnov Annex 5 I

Emphasis in the South Pacific will De on:

(a) Promoting IDWSSD activities;

(b) Developing advisory services to countries on aspects C'''

environmental health; and

(c) Developing, with the occupant of the new position of

training specialist, a series of workshops on appropriate

technology.

In view of the large number of countries requiring assistance, tn"

WRC noted that it is imperative that a second Sanitary Engineer join th~

Suva-based CWS team.

He also made the observation that the Vector Control Specialist of

ICP/HST would more appropriately be with the ICP/CWS team.

11.6 Leprosy - ICP/LEP/OOI

Dr. J.W. Lee Annex 5 J

Generally, the situation in the Pacific is improving. Most cases

are of the tuberculoid type and are quickly responding to multiple drug

therapy.

It was stated that funds were readily available for workshops,

training and supplies and countries have been encouraged to put forward

their proposals.

11.7 Primary Health Care - ICP/PHC/002

Health EdUcator to be recruited Annex 5 N

Page 25: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-22-

Generally, most countries in the South Pacific have introduced the

concept of primary health care into their health programmes from an early

stage due to the approaches along this line by various colonial

governments prior to independence. In some countries, the approach has

been adopted more slowly than in others.

A whole host of programmes and projects interlock through a common

PHC approach.

Health education is now becoming an integral part of the programme

and a health educator will shortly join the team.

Evaluation of health programmes utilizing concepts of primary

heal th care is essential and it is recommended that such evaluation be

undertaken.

A nurse is most likely to join the PHC team and her duties will be

baSically related to health manpower development.

11.8 Administration

Planned travel from Mrs. F. Zullah, Administrative Assistant was

presented (Annex 5 0).

12. INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN CLOs AND ICP STAFF

Indi vidual discussions between the CLOs and rcp Staff on project

and related matters including proposed duty travel plans for 1986, took

place during the afternoon of 15 and 16 August.

Page 26: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-23-

13. RECOMMENDATIONS

The following recommendations were made:

General

1. Joint CLO/ICP staff meetings should be scheduled each year to

improve coordination.

2. There is a need to develop a procedure for making CLOs and ICP

staff more aware of changing concepts with regard to WHO assistance to

countries.

Country Statements

3. Country statements should be cleared through the governments

concerned.

4. Annual technical meetings should be held by WHO Malaria Project

staff from PNG, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.

5. A post for an ICP microbiologist based in the Suva Office should be

esta blished.

6. A micro-computer expert is required in the Suva Office for two

months to develop applications which are common to the Pacific Island

countries.

7. For planning and budgeting TTPI should be treated as four separate

entities.

8. The close coordination between WPRO and the Suva Office is needed

to meet the needs of TTPI, Kiribati, Tuvalu and the French-speaking

countries.

9. The establishment of a CLO post to serve the TTPI area should be

studied.

Page 27: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-24-

Monitoring and Implementation

10. Joint WHO/government programme reviews are to be encouraged.

11. More frequent use should be made of updated budget status reports

and auxiliary documents, to improve programme monitoring and

implementation.

12. Development of a modified budget status report which could be

released to governments should be considered.

13. More care needs to be exercised during the original planning

process in order to reduce subsequent requests for re-programming.

14. Updated budget status reports and relevant fellowship monitoring

details should be included in the briefing documents of senior officials

visiting countries.

Fellowships

15. Medical clearances and photos are required with all FAFs submitted

by CLOs.

16. Fellowship review lists need to be issued more frequently by WPRO.

These are to be kept up-dated by CLOs.

17. More care needs to be exercised in the selection of students for

the Foundation Year at the University of the South Pacific.

programme including these aspects:

(a) method of selection of fellows;

(b) arrangements for determining stipend rates;

(c) how to reduce number of drop-outs;

(d) assessment of how well the programme meets the needs of

the countries.

Transfer of Funds

20. CLOs as a matter of routine should include details of the account

to which local costs are to be paid.

Travel Advances

21. The adminis tra ti ve assistant was encouraged to pursue her idea of

obtaining travel cheques from the Bank and paying them in this Office

rather than having the staff member visit the Bank.

Supplies and Equipment

22. A photocopier for each CLO's office should be provided in each

biennial budget as a matter of course.

23. A driver's position should be provided for the CLO's Honiara Office.

14. CLOSING CEREMONY

Dr. M. Felszer, IiRC, Suva, closed the meeting with the following

remarks:

ANNEX 3 A

s. PROPOSED COUNTRY ACTIVITIES AND REQUIRED rcp SUPPORT IN 1986

5.1 AMERICAN SAMOA - Summary of WHO collaboration required in 1986

With the annual health budget per person of more tt.an $230 (Fiji,

$40), the Government of American Samoa has one of the largest health

budget per person in the South Pacific. However, about 12%, or more than

one million dollars are spent on the referral treatment outside the

territory, mainly in Hawaii. Also specialized health services are

largely provided by the short and long term recruits from overseas.

The needs to train and retain sufficient number of the indigenous

people to replace the overseas recruits, and contain the referral cost

has been an important goal for the health policymakers in American Samoa.

HMD

The development of a self-reliant health system is the one area in

which WHO will mainly be collaborating in 1986-1987. For the purpose,

the total amount of $115,000 will be spent on providing fellowships.

MCH/Family Planning

The health authorities expressed interest in the field of health

education in the context of MCH/Family Planning. The MCH team in Suva

will address the needs on the basis of individual request.

ICP/LEP/OOl

The Leprosy Advisory Service received an urgent request for leprosy

drugs on two occasions in 1985. The result of the drug shortage was most

probably due to less than perfect management rather than the dire

financial difficulty. In 1986, a participant will be invited for the

planned Leprosy Workshop in Suva in October.

Also, the Iep team could visit American Samoa to follow-up their

leprosy programme.

Page 35: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

I

-32-

NCD

The health authorities have expressed on several occasions their

interest in estatlishing collaboration with w'HO' s Non-Communicable

Disease (NCD) activities. In view of the fact, that the coronary heart

disease (CHD), and cancer are the numbers one and the third causes of

death and the hypertension and diabetes mellitus are the important cause

of morbidity, the close collaboration in this field in 1986 is deemed

necessary •

General Comments

Leadership of the health programme in American Samoa has

traditionally been a political issue. With the recent election of a new

Governor, a new Director of Health who seems very receptive to WHO

cooperation has been appointed.

CLO/ Apia will visit American Samoa to discuss WHO cooperation.

It was noted that the US Public Health Service and Centres for

Disease Control are active in American Samoa resulting in little demand

for WHO cooperation in communicable disease programmes.

Specific Comments

Ess~ntial drugs and vaccines

ICP/EDV/OOI will visit to discuss drug procurement.

General Comments

Although there is no WHO office in Cook Islands, the Government is

very responsive to WHO cooperation and there should be no problem in

ensuring that visits take place as planned.

Specific Comments

MCH/Family Planning

1. Possibly, two to three-week visit(s) [timing and frequency to

be determined by project's work plan for 1986] to monitor ope rations and

provide technical and management suport to training activities of

General Co=en'-~

Recent major ':anges in the senior staff of the Department of

Health should improve cooperation with WPRO.

The Regional Director noted that a major problem in Samoa has been

frequent staff changes in the Health Department and a limited

understanding of Primary Health Care at senior level. He hopes that the

new leadership would lead to comprehensive health plannj_ng in Samoa.

The Regional Director also expressed concern at the unsatisfactory

results from fellowships in Samoa. It was felt that selection of

candidates for fellowship in the past had been been roor. However, it

was pointed out that selection procedures have now improved.

Specific Co=ents

Primary Health Care

A good co=uni ty participation infrastructure is present in

Samoa. The need is for increased intersectoral coordination. The role

of women is very important.

Two-day workshops are planned as it is difficult to obtain

release of local staff for longer periods.

MCH/FP

The present agreement expires at the end of 1985. Extension

for a further four year period is being negotiated.

5.12 VANUATU - Summary of WH0 Collaboration required in 1986

Technical collaboration between Vanuatu and WHO has increased

steadily in the last years and had covered practically every area of

health or related services.

The 1986-1987 Programme Budget was prepared taking into account

priori ty needs for the rapid development of health services based on

primary health care, the availability of funds and the absorptive

capacity of the country. Sufficient room was left for a more effective

and ample utilization if rcp staff and Regional Advisers and external

staff was proposed when ours was not available or the need was too

lengthy.

Now the time has come to present Vanuatu's needs of rcp and RA

staff for the year 1986.

The summary of WHO collaboration that follows as attached is t·.e

result of a two way dialogue between WHO local staff and Minist' -.If

Heal th officials, that is, decision makers and relevar. ~ department ht· : s.

Some dates were proposed and are reflected whe~:ever it was thought

necessary, flexibility permitted. Others which were not precisely

required at a certain time were left for later discussion.

Whenever B.n STC or Temporary Adviser had funds allocated, this was

reflected as (RB), in other cases the unavailability of funds was also

stated.

Some consul tantships were considered premature for 1986 and were

marked in the Programme Budget for 1987 as an internal reminder.

All areas of possible collaboration were covered and duplication

was avoided to the greatest extent possible. In some cases it was

considered that local staff would suffice and therefore the request was

not considered.

It was agreed that the redults of the dis' ~s9ion at rCP/CLO meeting

would serve as the basis for 1986 intercouLt :'y team collaboration to

Vanuatu, together with approved RB 1986-1987.

General Comments

It WIotS stressed that the health service in Vanuatu, and in many

other island countries, depends on nurses who are the entry point to

health care for most of the population. It was emphasized that a nurse

is required to present WHO views effectively to the nursing profession.

Vanuatu is training nurse practitioners to replace expatriate

doctors working as health administrators.

Specific Comments

Communicable Disease Control

Mr. Rousar's visit will now be required before the third

quarters of 1986. The Regional Director noted that the terms of the EPI

review may be broadened to review the general health situation and

infrastructure of the country.

Laboratory Technology

The need for an Iep Microbiologist was expressed. Inservice

training and supervision of laboratory standards is lacking in many South

Pacific countries.

Health Education

Attempts will be made to unify the health education aspects

of MCH, PHC and other programmes. Follow-up of STC ac ti vi ties may be

undertaken by the ICP health educator planned for the Suva Office.

Health Legislation

The last STC visit was untimely.

Malaria

There has been no overall evaluation of the programme.

Interchange of experience between staff in Vanuatu, PNG and

Solomons would be valuable.

5.15 WALLIS AND FUTUNA - Summary of WHO Collaboration required in 1986

This overseas territory of France has a population of 11,300

people. The main sources of personal income are government work and

funds remitted by relatives working in New Caledonia.

Revenue for the territorial budget is derived from import taxes,

licensing of fishing rights to Japan and South Korea, and French

Government subsidies.

There are virtually no exports other than a small amount of Trochus

shell. The trade deficit each year is usually equal to the imports.

Medical services are provided free by the French Government. Good

quality tap water is available everywhere in Wallis Island.

Budget: No WHO budgetary support is provided at present. A CPF

similar to that provided to Tokelau is supported.

Intercountry project resources are available from WHO Suva Office.

Health Information

A visit by a French-speaking STC in statistics is planned.

Implementation and Monitoring of Projects

In South Pacific Countries

The following comments were made by Dr. C.T. Palmer:

MmEX 4

"I wish to make some introductory remarks concerning implementation

and monitoring, allowing for discussions as we proceed. Please feel free to

interrupt at any time.

We are still using the term "project" because it remains the official

structure for WHO action in countries. It should, however, be kept in mind

that WHO hopes to abandon the "project" approach and concentrate instead on

programmes and activities. Thus we should be redirecting our thinking in

terms of total country programmes of WHO cooperation.

Although WHO will continue to need proper handling of procedures

and financial accountahllity, the more important aspect will be to have effective

overall programmes of cooperation with countries for health development. WHO

is recommending that this be approached through joint WHO-Government programme

reviews. The WHO Representative and Programme Coordinator is the key individual

in conducting these programme reviews. At times he may delegate this to

Country Liaison Officers or perhaps to other staff.

How often should the reviews be held? I would be interested in your

Views on this. I suspect it should be done more often than has been the case

su far in most countries.

Will the countries be receptive to such reviews? While I anticipate

they will be, provided we take a creative and sensitive approach to it, this

is also a matter on which it might help to exchange our views.

Another question is which individuals or units in Government to conduct

joint reviews with. Sometimes it has been convenient to deal mainly with one

or two counterparts. This allows efficiency but perhaps misses the chance of

getting a greater number of Government personnel involved in the programme of

cooperation with WHO. Some of our Governments have weaknesses in internal

communication about programmes, so perhaps we should be stimulating stronger

communication. There are also sometimes changes in personnel, so it may help

to have others well briefed in addition to the present main decision-makers.

Page 83: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-80-

In as much as these reviews are considered to be a significant

activity, it LS strongly recommended that they be documented.

These programme reviews could be useful for specific implementation

and monitoring steps as well as for the broad rev i.ew of overall programme

development. Although documents such as the budget details and budget status

reports are internal WHO documents, the WHO staff involved could prepare pertinent

extracted information from the Government to review. WHO staff should be

prepared to explain implementation and monitoring procedures with emphasis on

the actions required from the Government. Examples would be properly prepared

and timely government submission requesting implementation, whether of STe's,

local costs, supplies and equipment. Reprogramming may also need to be explained,

bearing in mind that WHO can be flexible in entertaining reprogramming proposals

provided they are based on significant needs consistent with the main lines of

health development. Reprogramming of course should not be endorsed too casually;

it is preferable to do good initial programming :lild follow it up faithfully unleso>

circumstances have changed so as to justify reprogramming. It appears in particu:

that ad hoc requests for supplies and equipment may be screened more strictly in

the future.

When reprogramming LS to be considered, it is often necessary to

explain to the Government that they have to specifically request reprogramming,

and indicate the source of reprogramming. If the source is unclear, one

technique which sometimes works is to give alternatives in the Government

request and let the Regional Office choose its preference.

It is worth while keeping track of the details of \';PRO responses to

implementation and reprogramming requests, since their decision on amounts and

source of funds may differ from the details envisaged at the time of the request.

These responses are usually found first in programme committee minutes or poll

requests and later reflected in the budget status reports.

BFO LS now attempting to put out budget status report every two months,

but by the time we get them there have often been subsequent changes. WRC, Suva,

is working on monitoring systems to keep track of these subsequent actions,

but he does not currently have adequate staffing to keep it as current as

might be desired. Thus it is suggested that eLO's do their own monitoring as

double check.

I I

Page 84: WHO/WPRO, SOUTH PACIFIC

-81-

To conclude my introduction, I believe that most of us have

recently been heavily involved in promoting implementation and monitoring

of thc 1984-1985 programmes in the fact of deadlines for making use of tht

available provisions. I want to suggest that the time has arrived to begin

working on advance steps for the 1986/87 programmes."
