The Domestic Resource Mobilization Collaborative brings countries together to address shared challenges in mobilizing domestic resources for health as they work to achieve universal health coverage. By exploring ways to mobilize domestic resources for health, countries can decrease the health sectors’ reliance on external aid and out-of-pocket funding, which can have large positive impacts on the sustainability, equity and efficiency dimensions of UHC. It promotes a shared understanding among finance and health policymakers on how to expand fiscal space for health through various domestic resource mobilization policy options, such as reprioritization, while strengthening recognition of the competing demands and opportunity costs countries face as they mobilize domestic resources during periods of both economic growth and setback
The collaborative provides a platform for practitioners to exchange knowledge, adapt evidence-based tools, engage in policy dialogue, and strengthen strategies that reduce reliance on external aid and out-of-pocket spending, helping build more sustainable, equitable, and efficient health financing systems. The collaborative has generated cross-country knowledge exchanges, webinars, and co-created practical tools—including a messaging guide on domestic resource mobilization with evidence-based arguments for policymakers to make the case for investment in health, a policy dialogue toolkit, and narrative summaries that include evidence-based historical budgetary trend analysis for nine countries, and an inventory of global resources and efforts in domestic resource mobilization.
