The Health Equity and Quality Improvement Project Phase 2 (H-EQIP 2) built on lessons learned from H-EQIP to support the RGC in advancing UHC over a five-year period from July 2022 to December 2027 with a continued focus on improving financial protection and access to services for the poor and vulnerable, enhancing the quality and inclusiveness of health services, and strengthening the health service delivery system through planned activities from July 2022 to June 2027 with the second half of 2027 focusing on verification of performance-based conditions (PBCs) and evaluation and dissemination of lessons learned.
The project will further strengthen the focus on results by expanding service delivery grants (SDGs) to finance more health programs and using an investment project financing (IPF) with PBCs. PBCs are a set of indicators, that, as part of the project’s Result Framework, aim at measuring performance against key actions and interventions. This performance-focused financing approach would promote timely achievements of PBC targets.
The objective of the Project (H-EQIP 2) is to improve equitable utilization of quality health services in Cambodia, especially for the poor and venerable populations, and to provide immediate and effective response in case of an Eligible Crisis or Emergency in the Kingdom of Cambodia.
