Need to better identify barriers to access and use of primary health care services by the intended beneficiaries. HSDP addressed supply-side issues, but demand for services needs to be increased and oriented through better information and communication, and social marketing addressed to the beneficiaries. The health sector needs to mobilize other sectors to achieve health for all. Some barriers cannot be reduced by the health sector alone.

An SDP approach increases the transaction costs compared with a programmatic approach. It is, however, a useful transition in supporting the development of a sector, and in establishing collaboration between MOF and line ministries (such as MOH or others). A CDTA grant or loan attached to an SDP or a program increases the chances of successful development of the sector.

The successful implementation of HSDP is the result of ADB’s long-term commitment to the health sector in the Lao PDR. Long-term commitment and policy dialogue built on trust and confidence between ADB and MOH, and the government, in general. The SDP modality was proposed by ADB in 2007 for the Health System Development Project but MOH was not yet confident enough about the support of MOF. Policy dialogue continued and in 2009, MOH and MOF were ready for an SDP approach.

Output and outcome performance monitoring was generally limited to the baseline, midterm and end of program survey. Key core performance data should be collected, analyzed and reported on a quarterly basis, in alignment with standard government indicators. This provides provinces and the national level with an up-to-date status of program performance and comparative data across provinces. These data should inform the annual planning process and identify where additional support is needed.

Funding is necessary, but is not sufficient for building capacity in the provinces and districts as they move to decentralized governance. Strengthening regulatory arrangements and institutional capacity is dependent on good management and financial procedures. A number of the provinces have increased management and technical competency and can play a valuable role through mentoring and/or twinning programs to help expand successful initiatives to others provinces.

Lesson
The coverage for the health equity fund (HEF) scheme supported by the program increased from three pilot provinces to cover all eight target provinces. This resulted in a higher number of eligible beneficiaries and health service utilization by the poor. Despite this, a large percentage of the eligible beneficiaries were not accessing the free HEF-funded services.
