Health financing in fragile and post-conflict states: What do we know and what are the gaps?

► Despite a growing interest in fragile and post-conflict countries, the scope of health financing literature is limited. ► The focus is on the role of donors immediately post-conflict with less attention paid to the longer term trajectory. ► Research priorities include understanding the mix and sequence of financing mechanisms and their access and equity effects. ► In terms of methods, there is a need for more robust methods and more longitudinal studies.
