Decentralized Facility Financing (DFF) Direct Disbursements Empower 164 Primary Health Centers

The implementation of Decentralized Facility Financing (DFF) has revolutionized operational autonomy and financial governance at the grassroots level across Ebonyi State. Under the IMPACT Project, 164 Primary Health Care Centers across all 13 LGAs receive direct financial disbursements into facility accounts.

This innovative financing model empowers Officers-in-Charge (OICs) and Ward Development Committees (WDCs) to independently manage operational expenditures, purchase essential pharmaceuticals, maintain solar water pumps, and conduct routine facility repairs.

Over 546 healthcare workers, WDC executives, and LGA health authority team members have completed intensive training on financial management, internal auditing, and transparent record-keeping.
