Description:This study assesses the status of the implementation of this transition to programme-based budgeting (PBB) in the health sector in Ghana. It examines the impact of this change in terms of how funds are budgeted, allocated, used and accounted for across the sector. Ultimately, this analysis considers the linkages of PBB with sector goals and objectives, and how implementation can be improved for greater impact. The study finds that while PBB has helped to consolidate activities and infuse greater performance orientation into the budgeting process, many challenges remain. In particular, the continued dominance of input-based, line items, particularly below the central-level, constrain flexibility and the ability to coordinate activities across departments or disease programmes in the health sector. This degree of inflexibility goes to the lowest level of the health system, with input-based budget ceilings set for the more than 500 budget management centres in the sector, and is driven in part by the large share of the health budget that is dedicated to salaries and wages. The potential benefits of PBB in terms of joint budgeting across health programmes and inputs has not yet been taken advantage of, which contributes to inefficiencies across the sector. Furthermore, while performance indicators have been established, they are not systematically tracked or used in allocation decisions. As Ghana looks to future reforms in the health sector, continued budget reform can be an effective enabler of changes to health financing and overall service delivery in Ghana.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
