Country and International Donor Financing Strategies for Sustainability of the EPI in Africa: Experience from the USAID Health Financing and Sustainability Project

摘要

Confronted by severe resource constraints over the last decade, many African governments have been debating significant economic changes that raise fundamental issues about financing and providing health services in their countries. These constraints and controversies have heightened the need for information that helps make difficult choices in allocating scarce resources. They have also increased the importance of identifying more precisely the contribution that investment in improving these services is likely to make to longer term increases in economic productivity and development.
