Achieving the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will require significant increases in financial resources from many different sources, including domestic resource mobilization (DRM). In this pilot project, we are partnering with the Duke Center for International Development to examine the role of DRM for health in India (in Assam, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh) and Ethiopia. The project takes a “holistic” public financial management (PFM) approach—one that integrates analysis of taxation, allocation, efficiency, and insurance —and applies it to mobilizing domestic resources for health.
