With increased migration around the world posing unique challenges and opportunities for health systems, efforts to better integrate and include migrants and host communities in national health systems are an integral part of the global health equity agenda. 

This implementation guide provides details on how project teams and local partners may implement the various approaches contained in the strategy, including tools and templates that may be adapted to country and activity contexts.

This brief describes opportunities to improve financial protection programs using behavior change approaches. The Practice Spotlights Social and Behavior Change series supports USAID’s Vision for Health System Strengthening 2030 by exploring how social and behavior change approaches can contribute to countries’ health system strengthening efforts.

This brief introduces the social determinants of health (SDOH) concept and terminology, and discusses approaches to addressing SDOH. Understanding these root causes of health inequities and their impact on health care access, quality, and equity is crucial to strengthening health systems.

This two-pager focuses on USAID’s Learning Question 6, "What are key behavioral outcomes that indicate a functioning, integrated health system? In what ways can integrated health system strengthening approaches explicitly include social and behavior change?"

This two-pager focuses on USAID’s Learning Question 4, “What are effective and sustainable mechanisms or processes to integrate local, community, sub-national, national, and regional voices, priorities, and contributions into USAID’s health system strengthening efforts?”

LHSS partnered with colleagues working as part of the USAID MTaPS project to document a practical approach that countries can use to track pharmaceutical expenditure (PE) using the System of Health Accounts (SHA) 2011 framework. This resource contributes to efforts by the World Health Organization to develop global guidance on tracking of PE.

LHSS conducted a study of 37 countries to provide a better understanding of the strengths, opportunities, and gaps in the structures governing the provision of quality health services.

This report details case studies from Rwanda and Zambia which offer unique insights into the operationalization of National Quality Policies and Strategy (NQPS) within broader governance and quality of care reforms.

This brief introduces collaborative learning as an effective approach to support sustainable health system strengthening. Collaborative learning brings together local leaders and experts to learn from one another, problem-solve, co-create new knowledge, and adapt and apply their learning.

This brief focuses on how pooling arrangements—the way countries combine funding from different sources to spread the financial risk of needing to pay for health services—can be improved to accelerate progress toward UHC.

​​​​​​​This annex presents the implementation plan for the FINFI model, which was established based on the PDCA cycle. The PDCA cycle serves as a framework for addressing and solving problems. The plan creates a roadmap that will guide the country and the MSPS in the implementation of the FINFI model. The plan also contains key elements for the implementation of the model and is organized by management level, defining key actors and objectives for each level. ​​​​​​​

This document proposes a Financial and Non-Financial Incentives (FINFI) model to improve the quality of life and performance of Colombian human resources for health (HRH). It outlines the problems identified within the Colombian health system that precipitated the development of the FINFI model, and provides a description and analysis of the proposed FINFI model and recommendations to assist in the implementation of the model.

This Spanish document summarizes the Financial and Non-Financial Incentives model, including the methodology of the model and recommendations for its implementation.
