This series of policy briefs aims to share with a large policy and advocacy audience evaluated examples of health programs and projects that have successfully made health sector spending more progressive. The series is produced by the World Bank Institute with financial support from the Government of the Netherlands. It has the dual objectives of: (i) sharing evaluated experiences showing that it is possible to tackle inequalities in the health sector in order to (ii) generate a global dialogue on this often neglected issue.
Six policy briefs in the series are already available.
