SPARC was invited to present to The Health Financing Global Solution Group of the World Bank Group at a webinar themed, ‘Building Momentum for Strategic Purchasing across sub-Saharan Africa’
The webinar was held in light of the intense pressure that the fragile resource base of health systems in sub-Saharan Africa have been subjected to due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This made it more critical for them to prioritize reforms that will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their health spending to ensure the best outcomes with the limited resources at their disposal.
In this webinar, SPARC presented its recent work in the region, introduced the recently launched strategic purchasing policy briefs from nine countries and set the scene for future institutional collaboration.
