![Process Guide for Routine Budgetary Resource Allocation for Health in Namibia](/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2023-01/Process%20Guide%20for%20Routine%20Budgetary%20Resource%20Allocation%20for%20Health%20in%20Namibia%20Cover.png?itok=Bmj9OXEx)
This process guide outlines an iterative process to support budgetary allocation decisions aligned with regional populations and needs as prioritized in the EHSP. The process guide proposes a broad decision-making framework that can be used to review current practices and move toward more efficient approaches in resource allocation.
This document describes the process to be followed for the regular revisions of the EHSP and presents important elements that support the updating, so that an EHSP that is a sustainable, equitable, and accessible—within financial and other constraints—is delivered to the population.
This PSCSE landscape report was compiled using evidence generated from a comprehensive documentary review and selected key informant interviews conducted to gain insight into the status of implementation of existing PPPs, and the challenges, lessons learned, and success stories.
The Namibian government has a long history of working with the private sector to deliver essential health services. However, the engagement between the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) and private sector actors within the health sector is mostly through ad hoc interactions during national campaigns, planning processes and service delivery. Thus, there is a need for more-coordinated and more-strategic engagement to effectively leverage the private sector's capacity and strategically position the private sector’s role in advancing universal health coverage (UHC).
