CEGAA’s significant hands-on experience and solid multi-sectoral partnerships across Southern and East Africa enable us to generate evidence of, and potential solutions to, the fiscal and administrative challenges faced by many African countries in their efforts to strengthen health systems and responses to HIV/AIDS and TB. We achieve this through analysis of the international and national macro-economic frameworks and finance policies that influence and limit resources for social sector investment, human capital and infrastructural development in African countries. CEGAA’s dynamic team of health and development economists and public health financing experts focuses on:  1. strengthening and supporting the efforts of all levels of government to improve management skills, transparency and accountability for health and HIV/AIDS financing,  2. building the capacity of civil society to monitor and advocate for sound and inclusive budget processes, allocations and expenditures in health and HIV/AIDS.
