In South Sudan, the Ministry of Health (MoH) with support from other international partners in 2017, commenced the implementation of a road map to introduce and institutionalize the NHA. The NHA is a framework for consistent tracking of resource flows within the country’s health sector (World bank, 2021). NHAs are a key source of information for policymakers who are interested in ensuring equitable and efficient allocation of scarce resources to high priority areas. Dr Samson Baba, Advisor to the Minister on Special Programs, underscored the importance of conducting NHA in South Sudan and noted that the MoH will use the information from the NHA for evidence based decision making and policy formulation, planning and monitoring and evaluation as the MoH and partners move towards universal health coverage. He added that the NHA findings will further be used for advocacy and resource mobilization with health parliamentary committee to increase government allocation to health towards Abuja target.
