Promoting Results and Outcomes through Policy and Economic Levers (PROPEL) Health is a five-year USAIDfunded project awarded to Palladium on September 23, 2022. PROPEL Health aims to improve the enabling environment for equitable and sustainable health services, supplies, and delivery systems through: (1) policy development and implementation, (2) adequate, predictable, and sustainable health financing, (3) enhanced government stewardship, transparency, and accountability, and (4) use of evidence-based advocacy approaches at global, national, and subnational levels to promote best practices. It focuses on family planning/ reproductive health (FP/RH), primary healthcare, and the integration of FP/RH with HIV and maternal and child health (MCH).

PROPEL Health Botswana, in collaboration with USAID, is prepared to provide long-term support to the Botswana Ministry of Health (MOH) and National AIDS and Health Promotion Agency (NAHPA) to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) and sustain health and impact by supporting national and subnational efforts to ensure access to efficient, equitable, and high-quality healthcare and revitalize primary healthcare. We will leverage existing relationships and previous successes in the HIV response and universal health coverage efforts. In collaboration with the Ministry of Finance (MOF), multilaterals (World Health Organization [WHO], UNAIDS, and UNICEF), the Global Fund, the private sector, civil society organizations, and beneficiaries, PROPEL Health will support the MOH to enhance Botswana’s health sector resilience, responsiveness, and equity. Together, we will implement a coordinated set of activities that will strengthen capacity in human resource planning and management to ensure that healthcare workers are available to provide efficient, quality health services, and mobilize and secure adequate and sustainable financing to achieve sustained universal health coverage in Botswana.
