Improved Policy Agenda for financing and provision of services
The expanded delivery of FP/MCH/TB DOTS/HIV-AIDS services has been hampered by unrealistic or outdated legal and regulatory barriers and the absence of appropriate supportive policies or guidelines both at the national and local levels. USAID Programs will analyze these policy gaps, institute measures to address them, and develop mechanisms and tools to effectively implement the policies.
LEAD for Health
Aside from developing the capacity of local governments to effectively deliver family planning and other health services, LEAD for Health is tasked with providing national level policies to facilitate efficient delivery of quality family planning and selected health services by local governments. Specifically, it has the responsibility to:
-
improve national and local policies for increasing finance of family planning;
develop policies for mobilizing resources for services; and
improve legal and regulatory policies for health service delivery.
