Abstract

This note reviews the role of domestic financing sources other than general government budget allocations in Tanzania's health financing architecture. These include funds raised from user fees or cost sharing, reimbursements from the national health insurance fund (NHIF), funds made available from the improved community health fund (iCHF), insurance for workers in the urban informal sector (TIKA), and other private insurance. In Tanzania, these are referred to as complimentary financing mechanisms.

Abstract

Les tickets modérateurs existent en Belgique depuis près de 50 ans, et ils sont fort différenciés et complexes. À la demande de l'INAMI, le Centre Fédéral d'Expertise des Soins de Santé (KCE) a étudié un nombre de points sensibles importants. Le système gagnerait à être simplifié. Ainsi, les différences de tickets modérateurs en fonction du nombre de patients examinés pour les visites à domicile du médecin généraliste ou le lieu de la visite pourraient être supprimées. Plus la plus-value sociétale d'une intervention médicale est élevée, plus le ticket modérateur associé devrait être faible. Ceci devrait contribuer à des soins de santé efficaces et de meilleure qualité. Le KCE recommande donc de ne plus comptabiliser le ticket modérateur comme un pourcentage des honoraires médicaux ou du cout d'un médicament. Il importe d'élaborer une vision globale, dans laquelle les objectifs des tickets modérateurs seraient pris en compte.

Abstract

India being a vast and diverse country, we face many challenges in ensuring reliable, sustainable safe drinking water supply to rural households of the country. Though, in terms of provision of safe drinking water, we have covered more than 90 percent of the rural households, according to the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) 65th round survey 2008-09, the authors have to recognize that much remains to be done to improve levels of service delivery, water quality and sustainability. Though chemical contamination of drinking water is being tackled today in the National Rural Drinking Water Program (NRDWP), bacteriological contamination, which is more dangerous and also more prevalent, has to be systematically measured and tackled. This requires convergence with the total sanitation campaign to ensure an open defecation free and clean environment. slightly more than 30 percent of rural households obtain their drinking water supply through taps which are more convenient, saving time and labour specially of women and children. however, this varies widely ranging from less than 5 percent in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to more than 80 percent in Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh. With the help of Water and Sanitation Program (WSP), the department of drinking water and sanitation has collected some models of good practices from different parts of the country. Care has been taken to ensure these are drawn from as many states as possible. In addition, the good practices identified cover a variety of areas ranging from improved service delivery, operation of multi-village schemes, efficient operation and maintenance, ensuring water quality, measures to ensure source sustainability, pioneering efforts for waste water management, effective communication practices that have been adopted and institutional reforms at state level that have been tried out.

Abstract

This note provides guidance for cities in developing countries for managing the urban water cycle in a sustainable manner by using an Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) approach. After a brief introduction to the concept of IUWM, this note profiles the different IUWM approaches applied in three types of cities: a water-scarce, fast-developing city (Windhoek, Namibia), an expanding city subject to climate extremes (Melbourne, Australia) and a dense flood-prone city (Rotterdam, the Netherlands). It also profiles an example of World Bank engagement under an IUWM approach in a fast-growing city in a middle-income country (Vitoria in Espirito Santo, Brazil). The final section showcases a potential methodology for applying an IUWM approach in a city, from the initial engagement and diagnostic phases towards the application of a full IUWM umbrella framework under which a program can be implemented.
