Six years after the Paris Declaration and three years after the Accra Declaration on the effectiveness of official development assistance, we can see through the implementation of the FBR in Burkina Faso that aid for health still suffers from a lack of harmonization, ownership and alignment. This increases transaction costs for beneficiary administrations, with health personnel working at district level losing valuable time receiving missions and writing reports instead of providing health services. To remedy this, there must be a renewed interest in strengthening health systems and an increase in investment in this area, which promotes better alignment with national priorities and helps to repair some of the distortions caused by vertical programs and the lack of harmonization. Strengthening state capacities reduces the influence of technical and financial partners in the choice and implementation of health programs. (Traoré, 2023).

The Fifth Global School on Refugee and Migrant Health kicks off tomorrow. This gathering brings together people from across policy and practice for 5 days to address the pressing health challenges faced by displaced populations worldwide. 1. This matters because with increasing migration and displacement, understanding and addressing refugee and migrant health is crucial for achieving UHC. 2. The event offers a unique platform for sharing best practices in refugee and migrant healthcare. 3. It's an opportunity to enhance our collective ability to respond to the complex health needs of vulnerable populations. Please explore agenda and participate in the live broadcast here: https://bit.ly/48Z387C For those interested in health systems strengthening, policy development, and the intersection of health systems with society, this event would provide insights that can inform our work better. #GlobalHealth #RefugeeHealth #MigrantHealth #PublicHealth

The Journal of Global Health has published an insightful case study exploring synergies and dis-synergies between universal health coverage (UHC) and global health security (GHS) in Cambodia. Authored by a team including P4H Country Focal Persons Esabelle Yam (Australia) and Huang Jiayan (China), the study highlights strategies for maximising health investments in developing nations. Key findings reveal: ✔ Synergies like central coordination by the Ministry of Health and extensive primary care networks. ❌ Challenges including under-regulated private sector engagement and vertical program funding. This research emphasizes the need for cross-departmental collaboration, better data utilization, and training programs to build resilient health systems. 📖 Read more and discover how Cambodia’s journey can inspire global health strategies! https://lnkd.in/eESAGzGD #GlobalHealth #UHC #HealthSecurity #P4H #HealthForAll
