| Summary: | The fiscal space analysis for the health
sector in Zimbabwe is timely and the need for such analysis
has been strongly expressed by the government and its
development partners. This imperative is Justified on
multiple grounds. As the country is hit by an economic
crisis resulting in lower revenues and cuts in expenditures,
Understanding the consequences and assessing coping
strategies for the health sector is critical. As the Country
engages in The implementation of its new health sector
strategy which sets ambitious targets in terms of Health
outcomes towards Universal Health Coverage, it Is also
critical to explore ways to increase resources for the
sector, Even in A constrained macro-fiscal environment. The
fiscal space analysis also highlights the major sources of
inefficiencies to identify areas for improvement to increase
the value for money in the sector. Overall, the fiscal space
analysis aims to generate evidence to inform MOFED and MOHCC
on short-term and medium-term options to generate resources
for the health sector. It will provide evidence for
government partner consultations on short-term options and
choices in light of declining public financing for health
and a difficult economic growth outlook. |
