Zambia, unlike most GFF countries does not have a running health project, we therefore attached the GFF grant to a Covid project.  The GFF grant though attached to the Covid project is meant to help maintain essential health services. It has been very difficult to have the TWG/task teams prioritize spending on Essential health services (EHS). In the last weeks we have been finalizing the investment case (IC) and I am proud to mention that I made a presentation to the IC task team on the EHS funds. We went on to align these resources to the priorities in the IC and included this in the resource mapping. This week the task team has embarked on developing an action plan to ensure the EHS funds are spent on strengthening health systems as highlighted by the prioritized reforms in the IC.
