Theory of Change¡ªHow the Advance UHC Multi-Donor Trust Fund contributes to Universal Health Coverage

 

Universal health coverage means people can access the essential health care they need without experiencing financial hardship. The Advance Universal Health Coverage Multi-Donor Trust Fund (Advance UHC MDTF)  was initiated by the Australian Government¡¯s Aid Program through its Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) in 2015 to support 13 countries across Southeast Asia and the Pacific equitably expand UHC. The Advance UHC fund has since attracted additional finance from partners including Gavi, the Global Fund, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation who have recognized it as a valued contribution to national health policy debate and an example of enhanced coordination between partners.

The Advance UHC MDTF promotes equitable expansion of UHC by assisting lower-middle income countries to continue to improve the use of precious financial, human and other resources for more effective and sustainable essential health services and systems. The Trust Fund recognises the significance of gender inequality and actively seeks to address gender equity issues on the path toward UHC.  

Advance UHC MDTF investments stimulate national health sector dialogue and policy reform by providing:
