dc.description.abstractThe study examined the implementation of Health Sector Basket Fund on improvement of health services provision in Nachingwea District Council. The study specifically, examined the trend of Health Sector Basket Fund disbursement for financial years, 2015/2016, 2016/2017 and 2017/2018, determined the activities supported by Health Sector Basket Fund implementation as planned in the Comprehensive Council Health Planning, and determined the perceived challenges of Health Sector Basket Fund implementation in the Nachingwea District Council. The study employed a single descriptive study design comprising the sample size of sixty (60) respondents including council health management team, health facilities in charges and their assistants. Moreover, simple random samplings were used as selection technique of the study. A quantitative research approach was employed in this study to collect information from the respondents easily and timely. The data collection tool used was a questionnaire which involved both closed and open ended questions. The descriptive statistics analyses were done with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21. The major findings of the study showed that, the trend of HSBF disbursement in three financial years 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18 were Tsh. 401,727,651.87,Tsh. 503,277,000.00 and Tsh.428,394,800.00 respectively. The amounts were disbursed in two phases that is a half in every two quarters until the amount was finished and the results indicate that the council did not receive the Health Sector Basket Funds (HSBF) timely, and that the fund was sent to the council on quarterly system. That means, half of the budget needed for two quarters and another half of the amounts was received for the other last two quarters. The results also show that, the activities supported by Health Sector Basket Funds (HSBF) were implemented as planned in the Comprehensive Council Health Planning (CCHP). It also shows that, the major challenge in the implementation of Health Sector Basket Funds (HSBF) were delay in disbursement of funds and transport system. The study recommends that, the Health Sector Basket Fund (HSBF) improve the health services provision in Nachingwea Ditsrict Council. The government should insist the partners and donors who support the fund to disburse timely in order to rescue the consequences of health services provision in all councils.
