E-Learning Course on Cross-Programmatic Efficiency Analysis

This module on Cross-Programmatic Efficiency Analysis will provide you with an approach to analysing efficiency across health programmes within a health system. Using WHO’s System-wide approach to analysing efficiency across health programmes, you will learn how to unpack health programmes based on their common health system functions – financing, governance, service delivery, and creating resources (e.g. supply chain, information systems, health workers) – to understand how they interact with one another and the overall system, and where inefficiencies can be identified. These cross-programmatic inefficiencies include duplications or misalignments across core health system functions.

This module is divided into six sub-sections and should take roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete.

After completing this module, you will know how to identify inefficiencies by taking a system-wide approach and learn how to address these inefficiencies through targeted reforms.

This e-learning module is open to the public and is directed towards leaders, managers, practitioners, and technical staff from both programme and system perspectives. This includes country-level health authorities, WHO country/regional/headquarter staff, researchers, and development partners.

This is a supplementary module to WHO’s “e-Learning Course on Health Financing Policy for universal health coverage (UHC).” It is strongly encouraged to complete this course before starting this module.
