Establishing a Financial Mechanism for Strategic Purchasing of Health Services in Uganda

This Strategic Purchasing of Health Services in Uganda (SPHU) program is part of the Indicative Program of Cooperation (ICP) 2012-2016 negotiated between Uganda and Belgium. The Belgian contribution is 6,000,000 €. The Specific Agreement has been signed for a duration of 42 months. The duration of the actual implementation phase is set at 30 months. This SPHU will, through a program approach, integrate the current interventions of the bilateral Belgian Cooperation in the health sector and consolidate them. This will be done in view of scaling up the Result Based Financing (RBF) experience in the Rwenzori and West-Nile regions towards a sustainable national RBF strategy, rolled out in other regions of the country, under Ministry of Health (MoH) leadership and in collaboration with other Development Partners supporting RBF. This experience will also feed the longer-term reflection on strategic health financing and more specifically the development of National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
