Health Policy Plus (HP+) is a USAID-funded five-year $185 million project awarded to Palladium (formerly Futures Group) on August 28, 2015. HP+ has a mandate across global, country, and subnational levels to strengthen and advance health policy priorities in HIV, family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH), and maternal health. It aims to improve the enabling environment for equitable and sustainable health services, supplies, and delivery systems through policy development and implementation, with an emphasis on voluntary, rights-based health programs, and by strengthening in-country partners' capacity to navigate complex environments for effective policy design, implementation, and financing aligned to their priorities.
USAID funded HP+ supported development of a PBB template to guide counties in preparing annual budgets. In addition, HP+ in partnership with stakeholders supported development of a PBB training curriculum and participant manual, which was used to build capacity on planning and budgeting.
As a follow up to these activities, HP+ organized training/mentorship sessions in the months of November and December 2017, for the 26 counties done in four clusters with the focus of institutionalizing PBB at the county level. The trainings were conducted in partnership with other stakeholders. The training provided mentorship to further strengthen PBB training capacity as well as harmonize PBB with county annual work plans (AWP). HP+ therefore intends to engage a consultant to support and facilitate PBB trainings at the county level and cascade the PBB training to sub-county level. In doing so HP+ intends to ensure the PBB are aligned to PFMA, 2012 (and the guidelines), CDIP and Vision 2030.
