The global health community is broadly in agreement that achievement of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) hinges upon both an escalation of the financial resources dedicated to primary health care (PHC) and a more effective use of those resources: more money, better spent. This book introduces and explicates the end-to-end resource tracking and management (RTM) framework, which includes five components that determine effective and efficient financing for PHC: resource mobilization, allocation, utilization, productivity, and targeting.In addition, this book compiles detailed results from the most recent RTM-based resource tracking efforts for PHC in selected countries. This is to demonstrate how the RTM framework can be used to bring a set of separate resource tracking efforts at different stages of flow of funds into a comprehensive process with an end-to-end 'storyline'. In order to build a functional PHC system that addresses access, quality, and equity issues, this book highlights the key (public) financing issues that researchers, technical advisors, and policy makers would need to address in addition to more resources.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li><b><i>Introduction:</i></b><ul><li>From Resources to Beneficiaries: Introducing an End-to-End Resource Tracking and Management Framework and its Application for Primary Health Care Development in LMICs <i>(Hong Wang, Daniel H Kress and Peter Berman)</i></li><li>Five Decades of Health Resource Tracking and Beyond <i>(Nirmala Ravishankar, Ravi Rannan-Eliya, Hong Wang and Peter Berman)</i></li></ul></li><li><b><i>Resource Mobilization:</i></b><ul><li>Estimating Financing Needs Using Examples from LMICs <i>(David Collins and Jean Kagubare)</i></li><li>Resource Mobilization for Health in Devolved Context: The Ethiopian Experience <i>(Abebe Alebachew, Carlyn Mann, Workie Mitiku and Peter Berman)</i></li><li>How Much Do Countries Spend on Primary Care in the Americas? <i>(Camilo Cid Pedraza, Claudia Pescetto, James Fitzgerald and Amalia del Riego)</i></li></ul></li><li><b><i>Resource Allocation:</i></b><ul><li>Resource Allocation in Ethiopia, Nigeria and India <i>(David Collins, Peter Berman, Karima Saleh and Hong Wang)</i></li></ul></li><li><b><i>Resource Utilization:</i></b><ul><li> Resource Tracking for Primary Health Care in Selected States in Nigeria: Findings from a Prospective Public Expenditure Tracking Survey <i>(Karima Saleh, Bernard Gauthier and Obert Pimhidzai)</i></li><li>Underutilization in the National Health Mission: A Story of Misaligned Public Financing and Health Financing Objectives in India <i>(Rajesh Jha and Manjiri Bhawalkar)</i></li></ul></li><li><b><i>Resource Productivity:</i></b><ul><li>Measuring Technical Efficiency of Primary Health Care Providers: An Analysis from Ethiopia <i>(Carlyn Mann and Peter Berman)</i></li><li>Productivity of Health Workers in Primary Healthcare Facilities in Nigeria: Why is the Average Caseload Estimated to be Low? <i>(Yanfang Su, Daniel H Kress and Hong Wang)</i></li><li>Linkage Between Human and Financial Resources for Primary Health Care and the Activity Levels of Health Services: An Exploratory Study from Uttar Pradesh, India <i>(Manjiri Bhawalkar, Rajesh Jha and Diana Bowser)</i></li><li>Productivity Analysis Using Actual and Normative Cost Data <i>(David Collins and Jean Kagubare)</i></li></ul></li><li><b><i>Resource Targeting:</i></b><ul><li>Are Health Resources Targeting the Poor Effectively in a Low-Income Context?
