The objective of the survey commissioned by the Government of Lesotho was to improve the efficiency of its various programmes in the health sector, particularly those centered around the HIV/AIDS crisis, TB, and maternal & infant mortality outcomes. It also aimed at prioritising fund allocation for intended beneficiaries, keeping in mind effective prevention and mitigation.
We conducted the Public Expenditure Tracking Survey (PETS) and Quantitative Service Delivery Survey (QSDS) for the Government of Lesotho to analyse trends in health expenditure versus identified health priorities of the Government of Lesotho. The assessment helped identify inefficiencies & leakages at different levels, challenges and bottlenecks in resource allocation, and assessment of service delivery in selected health facilities. Based on this study, the feasibility of scaling up Performance-Based Financing (PBF), especially in maternal & newborn health, within the existing fiscal was assessed.
