One such mechanism has been the introduction of cost recovery for health services. As part of its training program for the health sector, EDI ' s Human Resources Development Division felt it would be useful to do a survey of cost recovery schemes, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, and to analyze the objectives, processes, and results of different approaches. This book summarizes the findings of that study. It is designed mainly for health policymakers and senior health care managers in sub-Saharan Africa and will be used in EDI seminars on health financing and health sector reform in that region. The study consists of two parts: theoretical and conceptual models that might be employed to implement user charges; and a review of recent cost recovery experiences in Africa.
