Honorable Minister Tedros recently expressed his appreciation for MLI, stating, “Although Ethiopia is a country with a significant number of donors, one thing that drew our attention to MLI is its emphasis in building the management and leadership capacity of the Ministry.”

With support from MLI, the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) in Ethiopia has begun working to scale up and implement the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) throughout the entire health sector. The BSC is a tool for planning, monitoring and managing health sector development activities efficiently and effectively in order to positively impact health sector goals. There is a strong and urgent commitment on behalf of the FMOH to use the BSC as the planning and monitoring tool for the new health sector development plan (HSDPIV) to be launched in 2010.
