In 2012, SDSH supported MSPP to conduct a cost and revenue analysis for the basic
package of essential health services in Haiti. This effort was designed to help the MSPP
understand the actual costs of basic health services, and to provide a rationale for
evidence-based budgeting and fi nancing and management of health care service delivery
through performance-based contracting mechanisms. The Leadership, Management and
Governance (LMG) project, which is also funded by USAID and implemented by MSH,
began in 2012 and is supporting the MSPP to roll out nation-wide PBF and enable the
public sector to improve social services through results-based management.
Resources and capacity at the departmental level vary greatly, but SDSH saw
improvements in most areas. By late 2012, seven (one more than the six originally
targeted) health departments had a mechanism to coordinate donors in their jurisdiction,
nine of the ten departments had implemented service-delivery supervision plans, and 100
percent of the ten departments were implementing their approved operational plan.
