Many countries, Tanzania included, committed to the goal of achieving UHC. A key lesson from research evidence and country experience in implementation of pro-poor UHC is that public budget plays a crucial role in financing health care access for the poor. This paper presents results of the technical analysis of public funds allocation mechanisms in Tanzania. The authors report that public funds allocation mechanisms in Tanzania should prioritise the poor more explicitly and give them preferential treatment to close the gap with the non-poor in service utilization and health outcomes.
