Improving Aid Coordination in the Health Sector: Congo Case Study
2015
This case study describes the Democratic Republic of Congo’s strategy to streamline the financing and delivery of health services in the country. These efforts were motivated by the often fragmented, wasteful, and duplicative system that resulted from the lack of coordination of multilateral funding efforts. The case discusses how the DRC established a national coordination mechanism, promoted district plans with input from donors, and improved its national procurement system for medical supplies and services, resulting in improvements to service integration and cost management.
This case is part of the World Health Organization’s collection of health financing policy resources, which includes case studies, reports, policy briefs, and other resources organized by topic. The resource portal also includes information on the WHO’s policy framework for health financing along with relevant World Health Assembly and regional resolutions and strategies, courses and trainings, diagnostics and guidance, and rich data resources including databases and country profiles.
