The development objective of this Reimbursable Advisory Services (RAS) is to contribute to strengthen the Colombian central Government’s institutional capacity to exercise stewardship over the National Health Insurance System (NHIS) to foster better health outcomes, health system responsiveness and improved governance and accountability. To this end, the proposed RAS will provide technical assistance to streamline organizational arrangements and support the development and design of information systems to reduce fragmentation of the enrolment, revenue collection and pooling functions. This RAS will also provide technical assistance to introduce more refined mechanisms for allocation of resources, introducing results based financing and a strategic framework for periodic evaluation of new health insurance policies.
