Functionality of sub-national units
Functionality assessment is focused on understanding the status of different influences that impact
on
the ability of a system to ensure access to quality essential health services demanded by the
beneficiary population, through routine and emergency disruptive situations. Drivers of
functionality
relate to service provision, management and oversight capacities that exist within a given system.
Assessing functionality looks at the state of these capacities vis-à-vis the outputs the system is
able
to achieve.
