EVENT #4: Donors’ perspective on funding NSOAP implementation: A discussion about the various funding strategies
Funding NSOAPs remains a key barrier to their successful implementation. In addition to the traditional domestic sources for funding health services, such as taxes and social insurance, the large-scale provision of surgical services stimulates the economy through creation of new jobs, supply chains, and markets. This unique aspect can generate innovative financing for investments in health.
This online event explores the role of governments, donors, development finance institutions, industry and the private sector in the financing of the NSOAP implementation. It also offers unique perspectives on how to innovatively finance surgical system buildup.
Learning objectives:
- Describe the role of governments, donors, development institutions, industry and the private sector in financing the surgical system expansion.
- Name some of the unique ways to innovatively finance NSOAPs.
- Understand how to access private capital while improving equitable provision of surgical care.
