FAH launches 2023-2027 strategic plan: ensuring sustainable financing for primary healthcare

July 27, 2023 By Beth Williams 1 Comment

By: Wendy Wakhusama

January 31st, 2023, The Financing Alliance for Health announced its 2023 -2027 strategic plan towards strengthening and sustaining its impact on developing community health systems by leveraging the global and country focus on primary healthcare systems. 

Since its launch in 2016 and full-time operations in 2017, FAH has consistently and exclusively focused on systems change – directly serving and embedding teams within African governments to facilitate country-led conducive policies and secure domestic budget lines towards increasing access and utilization of quality health services at the community level. 

Financing Alliance for Health continues to re-orient health systems to ensure that they are responsive to preventable disease burdens and that beneficiaries are active participants and orchestrators of their health journey via community health systems.  

In the new strategic plan, we are building on our experience and expertise in community health and widening our approach to also encompass primary health care, which will, in turn, benefit community health. Given the limited and fragmented resources within the community health space, there is a need to move upstream into primary health care. As a result, more resources will be directed to the community health system. 

This strategic direction will advance community health systems that are resilient, integrated, scaled, sustainable, and enabled through the following strategic themes: Strengthen the continuum of the Primary Health Care (PHC) framework; Catalyze universal health coverage; Integrate community health workers into HRH; Contribute to the global health security agenda and Driving knowledge generation. 

Our work will advance resource mobilization for community health and create economic opportunities in policy and practice while increasing health service access and utilization. In addition, we will measure our performance based on programmatic targets and indicators to track our progress and impact. 

We will continue to be demand drives and primarily service public sector clients (governments, African institutions).  FAH will be responsive to government requests while maintaining a lens on the geographical, language, and socio-economic diversity of the countries we serve.  

As an African – headquartered organization with a team that understands and is representative of the populations we serve, predominantly young, African, and female, we will continue to deepen and diversify our skill sets across the health systems, health finance, and investments value chain.  

We are thrilled to launch this new strategic plan and look forward to forging partnerships across bilateral & multi-lateral organizations, implementing agencies, and funders.
