The investment case (IC) and the country-led process of developing the IC comprise a core aspect of the GFF model. An IC is a national document that articulates a prioritized set of evidence-based, costed interventions and reforms that address identified health system bottlenecks, which lead to an accelerated improvement in health outcomes for women, children, and adolescents. This guidance reflects lessons learned from the first eight years of GFF engagement in 36 countries and consultations with GFF partners such as government representatives, development partners, the Investors Group, civil society organizations, and task team leaders and focal points from the World Bank and the GFF Secretariat, respectively, who have been involved in IC development and implementation.

This guidance is a living document and will be updated regularly. The purpose of this guidance is threefold:

1. Articulate the objectives of an effective IC.

2. Present guidance for developing or updating an IC.

3. Offer a suite of tools, resources, and country examples for each component of an IC.
