The Government of Tanzania has implemented a number of health sector reforms that promote UHC in the last two decades. This case study focuses primarily on the initiatives that foster UHC with a specific  pro-poor lens. Tanzania’s efforts that can potentially benefit the poor can be classified into two main groups: supply-side efforts and demand-side efforts. Supply-side efforts include the devolution of functions to local government authorities, strengthening primary health care, and incentives to improve performance through implementation of a results-based financing program. On the other hand, demand-side efforts consist of a prepayment scheme for the informal sector in rural areas called community health funds. This case study analyses the effectiveness of these programs to provide coverage to the poor in Tanzania.
