Stakeholders met by videoconference on April 13 to review the deliverables produced by the firm commissioned to evaluate the CMU program.
The partners present at the meeting commented on the program’s budgetary sustainability, the financial viability of mutual health insurance schemes, and the program’s legal and institutional framework.
The observations made can be summarized as follows :
- take into account the contributions of TFPs in the sources of financing;
- clearly define the legal framework in which the financial system is integrated;
- develop specific institutional arrangements for each of the proposed models ;
- adopt in the analysis the ratios recommended by the UEMOA decision on prudential management ratios and indicators for social mutuals;
- Extend the diagnosis to the IPMs and budget allocations that are an integral part of the CMU program ;
- take into account the constraints of the UEMOA regulation on social mutuality in the options envisaged;
- assert the compulsory nature of health insurance, whatever the model chosen.
