| Summary: | Several studies have identified problems
in the DRC health sector, including: low budget allocation,
high household expenditure, dependence on external funding,
poor use of available resources, low budget execution,
governance problems and a decentralization process that
remains largely theoretical. The first part of this
analysis, a fiscal space analysis (FSA) report provided a
new and updated overview of the health sector in relation to
the government’s new priorities in the reframed 2019-2022
National Health Development Plan (NHDP). This second report
focuses on revenue distribution between the central and
provincial levels of the health system and on ways to
improve resource mobilization. The report notes that
decentralization is a new and developing system in the DRC,
politically, technically and financially. |
