Progression towards countries\u2019 universal health coverage (UHC) through social health protection (SHP) is facilitated by a strong foundation built on institutional frameworks. The P4H Network provides targeted support at country level where requests correspond to P4H\u2019s goal.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][ba_gradient_heading title=”What makes up an institutional framework?” html_tag=”h3″ primary_color=”#455A64″ secondary_color=”#455A64″ admin_label=”HEADING (50-60 characters)” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”||||||||” title_font_size=”32px” title_line_height=”1em” custom_padding=”15px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/ba_gradient_heading][et_pb_text admin_label=”TEXT – BLOCK 2 ” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Two broad components make up the institutional frameworks for SHP and health financing (HF). <\/span>Policy frameworks <\/b>encompass policies, national strategies, plans and programs impacting SHP and HF. Though they reflect arbitrations and decisions made at the highest levels by executive powers (presidential or governmental), policy frameworks are not legally binding. Examples include policies like those on free health care, social health insurance and national strategies addressing HF, UHC, social protection and domestic resources mobilization.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TEXT – BLOCK 3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Legal and regulatory frameworks<\/b> are legally binding texts elaborated by legislative or executive powers, as well as the structures established by a legally binding source impacting SHP and HF.

Institutional frameworks were identified as an area for increased attention. Concrete examples of progress in this area in 2023, building on the deep dives developed previously, are C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire<\/a> and Cambodia<\/a>. At the request of the P4H-CFP, Virgile Pace contributed to the \u201cNational experience-sharing workshop on the universal health coverage program in C\u00f4te d’Ivoire\u201d with a virtual presentation in February. Support has also been provided to Cambodia, in close collaboration with Deutsche Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Internationale Zusammenarbeit\u00a0 and the P4H-CFP there, Niccol\u00f2 Rottigliano<\/a><\/span>. <\/b>The aim is to find concrete options, from a legal and regulatory perspective, to strengthen HF and speed up progress towards UHC, based on best practices and lessons learned in other countries in the region.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][ba_gradient_heading title=”Deep dive into 10 countries” html_tag=”h3″ primary_color=”#455A64″ secondary_color=”#455A64″ admin_label=” HEADING Deep dive into 10 countries” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”||||||||” title_font_size=”32px” title_line_height=”1em” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”15px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/ba_gradient_heading][et_pb_text admin_label=”TEXT – BLOCK 6″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In 2022, Virgile Pace<\/a>, an expert in institutional frameworks, worked with the P4H Network.
