EnCompass developed this technical brief as a part of our work on the Transform: Primary Health Care project.  Through USAID’s Transform: Primary Health Care project and Health Financing Improvement Program, the Agency has extended financial and technical assistance to multiple levels of the Ethiopian government to pilot, scale, and reinforce health reforms in Ethiopia. Community-based health insurance, now being rolled out nationwide, aims to promote equitable access to quality healthcare, increase financial protection for informal sector households in rural and urban areas, and facilitate social inclusion of Ethiopian families in the health sector. This technical brief provides insights from the Transform: Primary Health Care project’s gender analysis on how community-based health insurance is contributing to women’s economic empowerment in Ethiopia.
