Exploring an Alternative Community Health Financing Approach in Yemen: A Landscape Assessment

The Systems, Health, and Resiliency Project (SHARP) carried out an assessment to explore the ability and willingness of local communities to contribute to financing for, and facilitate access to, healthcare by raising domestic private resources. The purpose of the landscape assessment was to gain an in-depth understanding of past and current community savings schemes in Yemen and perspectives from both implementers, local stakeholders and participants. This would help determine if a savings scheme focused on promoting maternal and child health would be viable.
