They are in urgent need of innovative and strategic actions supported by political will and resources for greater impact. In September 2010 in an effort to accelerate progress the Secretary-General of the United Nations launched the Global Strategy for Women s and Children s Health. The main goal of this strategy is to save 16 million lives by 2015 in the world s 49 poorest countries. It has already mobilized commitments estimated at US 40 billion. However commitments need to be honoured efforts harmonized and progress tracked. Actions need to address results and resources. Given that accountability for financial resources and health outcomes is critical to the objectives of the Global Strategy the Secretary-General asked the Director-General of the World Health Organization to coordinate a process to determine the most effective international institutional arrangements for global reporting oversight and accountability on women s and children s health. The work of the Commission on Information and Accountability for Women s and Children s Health is built on the fundamental human right of every woman and child to the highest attainable standard of health and on the critical importance of achieving equity in health. All accountability mechanisms should be effective transparent and inclusive of all stakeholders. In addition the Commission s work has embraced the Global Strategy s key accountability principles focus on national leadership and ownership of results strengthen countries capacity to monitor and evaluate reduce the reporting burden by aligning efforts with the systems countries use to monitor and evaluate
