For the first time, Ghana will have one set of uniform, consistent definitions and descriptions affecting every aspect of healthcare for its citizens, thanks in part to support from a URC-led project. Under the direction of the Ghana Ministry of Health (MOH), the Health Facilities Regulatory Agency (HeFRA) and its partners will lead the support of Ghana’s commitment to universal health coverage by creating a uniform set of standards for healthcare services, types of facilities, and the licensing and accreditation of those facilities. These actions will reduce inequities in healthcare while enhancing the quality and consistency of care for Ghana’s citizens. The USAID Quality Services for Health Activity, implemented by URC, provides technical support to the MOH and HeFRA to enhance quality government structures and coordination of services, promoting high-quality services in public and private healthcare sectors.

?? Bringing Armenia's Parliament and Civil Society Together for a Stronger Budget Process On December 20th, 2024, USAID/Armenia’s Public Finance Management Activity took another step toward enhancing communication between Armenia’s Parliament and civil society. In collaboration with the National Assembly's Standing Committees on Financial, Credit, and Budgetary Affairs, as well as Science, Education, Culture, Diaspora, Youth, and Sports, we hosted a public dialogue focused on the education sector’s 2025 priorities, projected allocations, and expected outcomes. The workshop empowered Civil Society Organizations in the education sector, equipping them with the tools and insights to play an active role in the budget process—from policy development to budget oversight. This collaboration marks a significant effort to ensure more transparent, responsive governance. Looking forward to more meaningful engagements as we prepare for the 2026 budget cycle! ????
