  1. Performance Audit The GAVI Alliance Data Quality Audit experience May 2008 ICGFM conference Dr. Mercy Ahun GAVI Alliance Secretariat, Geneva

  2. Performance Audit • DQA history and rationale • DQA overview • Requirements • Report Content • GAVI DQA Experience • Strengths of DQA • Limitations of DQA • Future Opportunities

  3. History and rationale for DQA • History:DQA emerged as an assessment tool to accompany the investment component of GAVI’s Immunization System Support (ISS) window • Rationale:DQA aims to provide GAVI with assurance that the level of reward payable through ISS is based on a data validation process

  4. Overview of Data Quality Audit • Goal: assure that management of immunisation services are based on sound and accurate data • Operational objectives: 1. assess the quality, accuracy, timeliness and completeness of immunisation reporting systems 2. audit the reported DTP3 coverage in infants in a specific calendar year and then estimate the National verification factor to use in reward allocations

  5. Requirements • Countries receiving Immunisation Services Support are required to conduct DQA during 2nd year of support • External audit team engaged to review records & reports • 4 districts randomly selected & data for previous year reviewed • 6 Health facilities visited per district • Number of vaccinations checked at facility, district & national levels

  6. DQA report content • Performance indicators (DTP drop out rate, wastage, coverage, Verification factor) • Verification factor • Estimation based on all DTP3 records and reports audited at facility & district level • Based on ratio of recounted DTP3 and reported DTP3 (consistency ) • Successful DQAs – VF of at least 0.80 • Quality of the system index: Composite index based on the recording, reporting, storage, M&E and system design for data

  7. DQA reporting process • In-country presentation • Draft report with electronic copy • Opportunities for feedback • Confidentiality • Monitoring of plan of action to address weaknesses in GAVI Annual Progress Report

  10. DQA strengths • Innovative Management, diagnostic and capacity building tool • DQS – self assessment tool developed to help countries diagnose and address data weaknesses • Exposed need to improve skills in management of health data • Induced improvements in repeat DQA countries • Enhances donor confidence and contributes to transparency and accountability

  11. Limitations of DQA • Expensive & labour intensive • Imprecision of verification factor • Wide confidence intervals • Unable to capture verification of vaccination at point of delivery

  12. Future opportunities for DQA • Major evaluation underway to examine methods, sources scope • Will review best practice and decision model • Opportunities for expanding DQA to include other health system metrics • Capacity building to enable local DQA or peer review process
