The nature of donor funding• Volatile and unpredictable• Often operated as vertical
programs• Affected by socio-economic
and political factors– May not always align with
recipient country’s priorities – Difficult to make long-term
commitmentSource: Cambodia NHA Report 2014, WHO Global Health Expenditure Database (WHO, 2014)
11
Donor funding poses challenges
• Risk of fragmentation– Donor funding, if skewed towards certain diseases or specific
programs, may not always reflect the country’s priorities – Certain donor funded programs operate separately with
their own mechanisms• Endangers sustainability– Donor funding is about the same amount as government
spending from domestic source– Global Fund, GAVI and Gates Foundation accounts for one-
fourth of total donor funding, the decrease in funding will have big implications on sustainability of these programs

Summary of the challenges
• Heavy reliance on donor funding with vertical approaches
• High out-of-pocket payments paid for poor quality of services
• Low government spending on health from domestic sources
• Large private and informal sector with limited regulatory mechanisms
• Low quality of services in both public and private sectors
18
THE WAY FORWARD
19
Reshape and re-orient health system NOW
• Economic growth gives the government the means to invest in its people’s health
• Reshape and re-orient the health system:– To improve integration and coordination among programs
and different level of health services– Take strong ownership and align donor funding with
national strategy and priorities– Improve transparency and accountability– Enhance people’s trust in public services
20
Increase government spending on health from domestic sources and use it efficiently
• The amount of government spending on health matters
• Efficient use of resources with greater transparency and accountability is crucial
• More domestic funding will strengthen the national ownership
• More domestic funding allows government to address the country’s health priorities and to work towards long-term sustainability
21
Rebalance budget allocation towards prevention and primary care
• More resource for sub-national levels, especially health centres and district hospitals
• Ensure maintenance of equipment and regular supply of quality medicines and other essential commodities at the primary level
• Bring compensation and motivation of health workers at the primary level facilities to the adequate level
• Introduce appropriate interventions to encourage retention of health workers in the rural areas and at the primary level facilities
22
Improve safety and quality of service in both public and private sectors
• Strengthen regulatory capacity and reinforce implementation of legislations
• Develop and update clinical standards based on evidence and improve compliance
• Strengthen the registration, licencing and accreditation mechanisms
• Improve quality of medical education and create opportunities for continued professional development
• Further develop systems for monitoring and oversight of health services
23
Minimizing out-of-pocket payment and make services more affordable
• Increase prepayment • Balance the supply side and demand side subsidies • Health Equity Funds should focus on providing
vulnerable populations access to a well-defined package of good quality essential services
• Leverage private sector through contracting and payment methods (financial incentives) for public benefit
