Uganda Cross-Programmatic Efficiency Analysis

Overview

A cross-programmatic efficiency analysis was conducted in Uganda to identify and analyse critical areas of functional overlap, misalignment or duplication across the country’s tuberculosis (TB), HIV/AIDS, malaria, Expanded Programme for Immunizations (EPI), and Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programmes, and with the overall health system. The analysis was conducted to inform plans to make the health system more efficient and sustainable as Uganda faces financial constraints, related to a decline in external financing. This policy brief, which outlines the identified cross-programmatic inefficiencies, their implications and policy options, is written based on the analysis performed in 2021 and 2022, with recognition that changes in the health system will have taken place since the study was conducted.
