dc.description.abstractThis study builds on the analysis on fiscal space for health in Uganda that was conducted by the World Bank in 2010. The previous study by Okwero et al. (2010) showed that there was low and inefficient health spending, limited scope for domestic revenue mobilization, high dependence on external financing, and that there was need for prioritization of health, and more concessional borrowing. It also provided some recommendations on enhancing efficiency of health spending, increasing DAH, and addressing corruption. The study also informed the development of Uganda’s Health Financing Strategy 2015/16–2024/25 (MoH, 2016). In addition to the study by Okwero et al. (2010), this study builds on recent studies such as the Public Expenditure Review (2022-23), Raising Taxes for Improving Health in Uganda (2022), and a Cross Programmatic Efficiency Analysis (2022). These studies have also highlighted the financing constraints in the health sector in Uganda, and the need for more innovative and sustainable financing options.en
