Above Service Delivery Activities: Cost, Impact, and Efficiency
2016
Costs incurred by health programs for activities conducted above the front-line facility or community setting constitute a substantial share of health program spending. Despite the important of these activities in the delivery of major health services, and despite the vast sums spent above the point of service delivery, far less is known about their costs compared with costs at the point of service delivery.
This report provides a landscape analysis of these service delivery activities and technical efficiency associated with major health programs in HIV, immunization, TB, malaria, family planning, and nutrition and is aimed at researchers, policymakers, and global health program managers.
The report was produced by Results for Development (R4D), an organization founded in 2008 that works to improve health, education and development, while ensuring that local change agents are in the driver’s seat, and that knowledge is transformed into action.
