The objectives of the Provincial Public Health Insurance Development Project for Argentina are to: (a) increase utilization and quality of key health services for the uninsured target population; and (b) improve institutional management by strengthening the incentives for results in participating provinces and among authorized providers. There are three components to the project, the first component being supporting provincial public health insurance. This component includes financing to assure capitation payments by National Ministry of Health (MSN) to participating provinces on a declining basis. The health service package will contribute to improving the quality of services as well as extending coverage on a per capita basis. Results will be monitored using supervision protocols and information systems, and will be verified by an independent technical auditor. The second component is the institutional and management strengthening of the national and provincial ministries of health. This component will provide the health ministry's at the national and provincial levels with the tools and information they need to improve governance and their organizational or stewardship capacity. Finally, the third component is the building capacity of the MSN and provincial ministries of health to deliver services.
