Toward Solving Health Financing Challenges In Africa – A Way Forward
This paper provides a summary of the financing situation in sub-Saharan Africa, presents an analysis of prospects for financing, and suggests paths to a better future. We begin by summarizing current data on health financing gaps in sub-Saharan Africa. Using analytic modeling, we project a possible trajectory for Africa's health financing into the future and identify where the greatest attention needs to be paid. We then describe some of the suggested health financing options that emerged from the expert consultations, and conclude by offering policy recommendations for stakeholders – governments, the private sector, and donor partners.
