Abstract :
[en] The Beninese health system is an institutional organisation characterised by a dominant role of the public sector. The development of the State-sponsored social health insurance is facing not only institutional and legal challenges, but also a major financing challenge in terms of ability to mobilise sufficient resources without jeopardizing neither the fiscal position of the government, nor the continuous funding of other health and social priorities.
This study aims to identify the possible resources (fiscal space) that can be mobilised to finance the ARCH health insurance scheme in the light of Benin's financial, budgetary and fiscal laws.
The study is based on a review of health policy, public finance and fiscal documents from Benin and elsewhere.
A comparative analysis will be made to define the optimal financing regime for Benin. In particular, the pros and cons of an earmarked tax system to finance the ARCH social health insurance will be discussed.
The funding mechanism of the ARCH health insurance scheme need to be adapted to the country's institutional but also socio-political context.
