Introduction to Health Financing and Governance Project inPeru

USAIDs Health Finance and Governance (HFG) is a five-year, $209 million project to increase the use
of priority health services, especially by women, girls, poor and rural populations, in developing countries
throughout the world. The project is led by Abt Associates Inc. with core partners including Training
Resources Group, Inc., Broad Branch Associates, Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI), Johns Hopkins
Bloomberg School of Public Health, Results for Development Institute, and Futures Institute.

Background
The HFG Project will be operating in Peru from approximately December 15, 2014 to September 30,
2015. Given the limits of time and available resources for health assistance in Peru, the Project is
focusing on the implementation of a defined Health Exit Plan (HEP) that concentrates and intensifies
support for strengthening decentralization of the health sector in the region of San Martin. As part of the
HEP, it has been implementing a transferable Health Systems Strengthening Approach (HSSA) for
supporting decentralization at the regional/local level that results in the provision of effective and efficient
health services to the target population. The HSSA is based on the World Health Organization (WHO)
framework of six health system building blocks: Finance, Governance, Human Resources, Service
Delivery, Information Systems and Pharma/Medical supplies logistics.

In case of Information Systems the USAID | HFG project considers:
