| description |
The Africa region has the highest burden
of disease and lowest spending levels per capita on health
care in the world. Achieving better health and protecting
people against the impoverishing effects of illness requires
both more money and better spending. Capacity building will
be central to achieving these objectives. This report
recommends an expanded definition of capacity building to
include strengthening of the underlying institutions and
organizations, in addition to the traditional focus on
management and infrastructure. This includes ensuring that
there is a strong government role in the stewardship
function, that sustainable financing is channeled through
risk sharing arrangements, that input generation takes full
advantage of the drive and innovation of the private sector,
and that service providers are allowed the autonomy and
required accountability to provide high quality care for
specified population groups. The also report analyzes
activities undertaken through Bank operations, ESW and WBI
since the beginning of 1990s, selected case studies, and
focus group interviews; summarizes lessons learned
(successes and failures); and makes recommendations on the
way forward. |
