This primer, intended for policymakers, donors, health care practitioners, and others involved in health care policy making and planning, draws on several overview papers on vouchers programs and demand-side subsidies. It discusses key aspects of voucher programs, elements for assessing the feasibility of a prospective program, and steps for designing and implementing a program where feasible. It identifies lessons learned from earlier voucher programs for health, despite the fact that the number of programs and literature about them are limited, highlighting how vouchers have been used to increase utilization of and access to RH/FP services and products.
