Guidelines for Analysis of Health Sector Financing in Developing Countries: Health Sector Financing in Developing Countries

摘要

This manual is number eight in a series of studies known collectively as the International Health Planning Methods Series. The Series provides AID advisors and health officials in developing countries with critically needed guidelines for incorporating health planning into national plans for economic development. This manual presents an action-tested procedure for appraisal of health sector financing which may be used, with some local adaptations, to examine health sector financial resources. The guidance presented in the text of the manual, combined with the prototype data collection and tabulation arrangement in Appendix A, are sufficiently detailed to lead a host-country health planner or financial specialist through the assessment process. For successful completion of such an evaluation, it is anticipated that a senior-level economist or public finance specialist would be available to assist the analyst, both in initial design and final interpretation of the results.
