With its 66 Field Finance Assistants (FFAs) stationed at state/regional government health offices across Myanmar, the UNOPS Managed Cash Flow Unit (MCFU) provides service to the national programmes to facilitate their implementation management. It works in close collaboration with and under the guidance of the national programmes.
Review meetings and team building
The MCFU regularly organizes FFAs meetings to review and update on the progress of Global Fund grants implementation under the New Funding Model (NFM) and the Regional Artemisinin-resistance Initiative (RAI); active case finding for TB and MDR-TB under 3MDG; and the Maternal and Child Cash Transfer (MCCT) programme in Chin State under LIFT.
UNOPS CFO visit to Myanmar
This year, the PR-UNOPS team visited health programmes being implemented with Global Fund support in Pakokku Township, along with the Director and Representative of UNOPS Myanmar, and UNOPS Chief Financial Comptroller (CFO).
Meetings and discussions were held with key partners, including from the Pakokku General Hospital, National AIDS Programme, IHC clinic (NAP and UNION collaboration), and Pakokku TB Centre (MDR-TB programme). These provided important feedback and input for planning improvements to the financial monitoring system, to better support smooth disbursement for implementation at field level.
