The program to be supported by this PforRis based on lessons learned from Benin’s earlier experience advancing its national strategies and is responsive to the dynamic national and international context. Since 2009, Benin has been guided by its National Health Policy (Politique Nationale de Santé, PNS, 2018-2030) and a National Health Development Plan (PNDS) 2009-2018 adopted by the Council of Ministers on September 1, 2010. This document is accompanied by a Monitoring and Evaluation and Review Plan (PSER 2009-2018). The PNDS has been implemented through two Triennial Development Plans (PTD) respectively from 2010 to 2012 and from 2013 to 2015. The latter coincided with the deadline for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The evaluation of the PNDS at the 2016 mid-point made it possible tomeasure the performance in the sector, learn lessons, and reorient strategies. In view of the significant changes that have taken place on the national and international level, particularly the commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the development of the National Development Plan (PND) 2018-2030, the Growth Plan for the Sustainable Development (PC2D) (2018-2021), the Government Action Program (PAG 2016-2021), and the reforms in the health sector, a new plan was developed to deal with development issues of the health sector. This PNDS (2018-2022) is based on, among other things, the sector health policy as well as the major concerns identified in the analysis and results from the mid-term evaluation of the PNDS (2009-2018) which highlighted the major challenges of the health sector for the years to come.27.The program to be supported by this PforR is part of the Government’s 2018-2022 National Health Development Plan (PNDS).This PNDS (2018-2022) is based on the PNS 2018-2030 and aims to respond to the key challenges identified in the analysis and results of the mid-term evaluation of the PNDS (2009-2018).
