To raise the accountability bar for health sector financing including the implementation of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) towards achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), DGI Consult partnered with the Health Reform Foundation of Nigeria (HERFON), the World Health Organization (WHO), Legislative Initiative for Sustainable Development (LISDEL), Africa Health Budget Network (AHBN) and other partners to discuss the need to generate a robust accountability framework for health financing and BHCPF implementation in Nigeria.
The two-day workshop was held on the 17th and 18th of May 2022 to harness experiences from existing accountability initiatives in the health sector and forge a consensus on the essential elements of the BHCPF accountability frameworks including the institutional arrangements for coordinating the BHCPF accountability-related activities. Stakeholders identified elements that should form part of the BHCPF Accountability Framework as well as factors that can facilitate or inhibit successful accountability mechanisms.
A key outcome of the workshop is the identification of the key elements of the BHCPF accountability framework, which will be validated by all the relevant stakeholders to enhance the successful implementation of health sector initiatives.
