South Africa’s health system relies on provincial governments to allocate budgets and procure essential
commodities, including vaccines and nutrition supplies, within a decentralized fiscal framework. While national
authorities are responsible for forecasting needs, provincial autonomy in budgeting and procurement decisions
can result in misalignment between planned requirements and actual resource allocation. This contributes to
