About this resource

Rwanda has been moving very rapidly to expand health service delivery. It has dramatically accelerated the trend of progress on health indicators, putting it back on track to reach the health Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Three interrelated innovative reforms contributed to improvement: community-based health insurance, performance-based financing within a broader framework of reform of management of human resources for health, and fiscal decentralization. This 22nd chapter of “Yes Africa Can: Success Stories From a Dynamic Continent” examines these reforms, showing how they worked together to improve health outcomes in Rwanda.
