Analysis of the Government of Tanzania’s Budget Allocation to the Health Sector for Fiscal Year 2017/18

Access to high-quality healthcare for all has become a major policy priority in Tanzania, highlighting the need to establish sustainable financing mechanisms for health and increase domestic resource mobilization. Since 2015, HP+ has provided technical assistance and facilitated collaboration between budget advocacy stakeholders to influence the government’s process for budget allocation to health. As part of this work, HP+ has conducted budget analyses to examine trends in allocations for health across different government institutions and the share of domestic versus on-budget external support from 2015-2017.
