GFF Uganda - CEHURD - Participation

This report presents findings from a scoping assessment of the Global Financing Facility (GFF) for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH) as a development funding model and Uganda’s readiness to implement the project. The GFF model uses a hybrid funding approach that mobilizes, coordinates and utilizes resources from the World Bank (concessional lending), partner donor countries and private funders – pooled in the GFF Trust Fund. World Bank-hosted GFF secretariat uses trust fund resources to catalyze financing from multiple sources and to “crowd-in” additional domestic resources.

The study used a qualitative approach, which relied on primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through personal interviews with officials in Ministry of Health, GFF development partners, multilateral agencies, program managers at the national and district levels, and the civil society. Secondary data was obtained through a review of relevant documents.
