The Government of Lesotho aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of its various programmes in the health sector, particularly with regards to HIV/AIDS crisis, TB, Maternal & Infant Mortality outcomes. It also looked at prioritising fund allocation for intended beneficiaries keeping in mind effective prevention and mitigation.
We conducted the Public Expenditure Tracking Survey (PETS) and Quantitative Service Delivery Survey (QSDS) for the Government of Lesotho to analyse trends in health expenditure versus identified health priorities of the Government of Lesotho. The assessment helped identify inefficiencies & leakages at different levels, challenges and bottlenecks in resource allocation & assessment of service delivery in selected health facilities. Based on the study assessed, feasibility of scaling up performance-based financing (PBF), especially in maternal & newborn health, within the existing fiscal was also done.
