A blog titled &#8216;What Happened When Two Countries Applied Promising Practices to Strengthen Health Budget Execution: The LHSS-JLN Health Budget Execution Learning Exchange&#8217; explores how Lao PDR and Peru adapted and began implementing promising practices.<\/p>\n<p>The USAID Local Health System Sustainability (LHSS) Project assisted Lao PDR and Peru in identifying initial steps for better budget execution. This effort stemmed from the LHSS-Joint Learning Network (JLN) Health Budget Execution Learning Exchange, where ministries of health (MOH) practitioners from eight countries shared effective practices.<\/p>\n<p>In Lao PDR, the government streamlined fund flow from the National Treasury to subnational levels, eliminating MOH intermediaries. Virtual workshops helped provincial health departments and facilities create clear health plans for better funding alignment.<\/p>\n<p>In Peru, fragmented fund flows caused delays and administrative burdens. LHSS and MOH discussions led to developing the Health Budget Management Guide, outlining budget management rules and procedures, and a certification process for budget specialists.<\/p>\n<p>These steps in Lao PDR and Peru demonstrate how technical assistance can help countries implement promising practices, leading to long-term improvements in health budget execution.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;TO BE EDITED &#8211; TEXT OF THE NEWS &#8211; BLOCK 2 &#8211; Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.
