Abstract

The health sector has been implementing the Second Health Sector Transformation Plan (HSTP-II) for the past three years, from 2020/21 to 2022/23. To align all sectoral strategic plans to the similar period, address challenges encountered in the last three years, and connect strategies with investments, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health (MOH) developed a three-year strategic plan: the Health Sector’s Medium -Term Development and Investment plan (HSDIP). It covers the period 2016– 2018 Ethiopian fiscal year (EFY) (July 2023 – June 2026) and was developed following a participatory approach that engaged various stakeholders. It is informed by an in-depth situational analysis of the performance of the health sector, findings from the midterm review of HSTP-II, the country’s socio-economic situation, and aligns with continental and global contexts and commitments. This plan builds on past successes and considers the current gaps and challenges.
