The African Collaborative for Health Financing Solutions (ACS) was a five-year, United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded project that supported sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries advance their universal health coverage (UHC) agenda. More specifically, ACS worked with countries to smoothen their march towards UHC around the core functional areas below:
- Continuous Demand Assessment
- Multi-stakeholder Collaboration
- Strengthen Accountability Mechanisms
- Promote Continuous Shared Learning
- Provide Health Financing Technical Support
This report looks at the project’s achievements in an effort to gauge how well ACS met its five aforementioned main objectives in the countries it was supporting. To do so, this report will look at how the project has performed in each country team (Benin, Botswana, Namibia, and Uganda). In other words, what would be the value-add of the ACS project in each of the countries if support stopped at end of November 2021.
