The Strategic Purchasing Africa Resource Centre (SPARC) is pleased to invite you to the second webinar in the policy dialogue series “Strengthening Strategic Health Purchasing in Africa – Changing the Conversation.” This webinar will focus on Leveraging Performance-Based Financing (PBF) for Strategic Health Purchasing.

 The webinar will take place on Wednesday, June 30, 2021, from 4:00 – 5:30 PM (EAT).  In this webinar, policymakers will highlight opportunities and challenges with moving health systems towards Strategic Health Purchasing leveraging PBF schemes that have been implemented in many countries of sub-Saharan Africa. The discussion will be grounded in the evidence synthesis SPARC conducted in partnership with KEMRI Wellcome Trust to examine whether and how PBF schemes can be leveraged for more holistic strategic purchasing in a country’s health system.

Please join the conversation that promises to “sparc” new insights and practical steps countries can take to better leverage strategic purchasing within current health financing systems to achieve universal health coverage goals.

Real-time interpretation in French will be available.
