Abstract
This Public Expenditure Review (PER) for
health in Zimbabwe is an analytical report developed by the
World Bank Health, Nutrition and Population Task Team
working with the World Bank’s Macroeconomics and Fiscal
Management Global Practice team, Zimbabwe’s Ministry of
Finance and Economic Development (MOFED) and Ministry of
Health and Child Care (MOHCC), with input from development
partners. The aims of the PER are to provide objective
evidence to inform the allocation of resources to enable
equitable, efficient, and sustainable health care provision
and to highlight questions about health sector performance
for policy makers and key stakeholders. The findings also
aim to present Zimbabwe’s health sector spending in an
international and regional perspective, highlighting key
issues for improving health outcomes. The PER is based on
analysis of primary and secondary data as well as an
extensive review of existing literature. The research was
complemented by interviews with key stakeholders, and data
collection from major development partners and domestic
health funders, including private companies. Micro-level
data from household and health facility surveys in
May–August 2014 (primarily for the impact evaluation of the
Results-Based Financing (RBF) program supported by the World
Bank) complemented these scarce data.
