A Review of Recent Developments and Future Challenges in the Implementation of Universal Health Coverage Policy Framework in Some Countries

Global attention has recently converged on the need for countries to achieve universal health coverage (UHC), which aims to guarantee that all persons are able to access needed and effective healthcare without facing financial ruin by using services. In the attempt to move towards UHC, several low- and middle-income countries are developing more sustainable revenue sources, expanding pooling arrangements and employing more efficient and sustainable purchasing strategies. Their experiences represent a growing evidence of the application of mandatory (social), private and community-based health insurance in low- and middle-income countries and their potential contribution to UHC. UHC reforms are an inherently political process, and public health advocates will need to do more to promote not only the health benefits of public health interventions but also the economic and political benefits too. Crucially, as UHC continues to be championed and rolled out globally, all people working in global health need to reinforce the importance of including the full scope of public health in health system reforms; only then can the full potential of UHC be realized—a true reduction in health inequities. However, implementation of a UHC is not an easy phenomenon, rather it needs proper design of a good health insurance system by integrating both the public and private health care providers. The influence of good governance and a sustainable health financing system is fundamental to establish UHC in the developing countries. This review Paper encompasses recent developments and future challenges in the implementation of Universal Health Coverage Policy framework in some countries.

The Role of Economic Activities in Enhancing the Acceptance of Lebanese Towards Malaysian Peacekeepers Through Good Governance as Mediator Variable

This article aims to explore the mediating influence of good governance on the relations between economic activity and Lebanese acceptance of Malaysian peacekeepers. While prior research has studied the relationship between economic activities and local acceptance, relatively few study has been conducted on the mediating impacts of good governance on this relationship, particularly in the Malaysian setting. The data came from 532 Lebanese people in Tebnine and Maarakeh districts. SmartPLS was used to analyse the proposed framework. The findings indicate that good governance mediated the relationship between economic activity and Lebanese acceptance of Malaysian peacekeepers. These findings will help the peacekeepers to assist the local people in increasing the economic output in their country and help reduce the pressure of food resources that are depleted.

Board Characteristics, Investors’ Confidence and Firm Value: Malaysian Evidence

This study aims to investigate the association between board characteristics and firm value taking into consideration the role of investors’ confidence. The subject of corporate governance is still of interest to researchers and practitioners due to its importance and the complexities surrounding it. This is because there are many elements that may interplay with corporate governance in influencing the value of firms. Despite abundance of research on the effect of board characteristics on firm’s value, the empirical evidences are still inconclusive. One of the consequences of having good governance as evidenced by many empirical research is the higher firm value. The agency theory explains this relationship such that good governance reduces agency cost, increasing investors’ confidence on the firm, hence its value. This explanation indicates that the influence of good governance on the firm’s value could be due to its effect on investors’ confidence. This study extends the understanding on the relationship between corporate governance and firm value by investigating the role of investors’ confidence on this relationship. Companies listed on Main Board of Bursa Malaysia are selected as sample using proportionate stratified random sampling method. The results demonstrate that CEO duality and board independence significantly related to firm value consistent with prior studies. The analysis on the role of investors’ confidence in the relationship between board characteristics and firm value indicates that investors’ confidence plays significant role in the relationship between CEO duality and firm value. The results provide input to firms on factors that contribute to firm value and to relevant authority on the important aspect of corporate governance.

Universal Health Coverage: A burning need for developing countries

The term of universal health coverage (UHC) are getting popularity among the countries who have not yet attained it. Majority of the developing countries are planning to implement the UHC to protect the vulnerable citizen who cannot afford to buy the health services. Poor people living in developing countries, where there is no UHC, are bereft of getting equal health care. They have to bear a significant amount of health cost in buying different services which often causes catastrophic expenditures for an individual and a family. If a country can provide UHC, it will be possible to bring all the citizens under provision of equal and quality care. However, implementation of a UHC is not an easy phenomenon, rather it needs proper design of a good health insurance system by integrating both the public and private health care providers. The influence of good governance and a sustainable health financing system is fundamental to establish UHC in the developing countries.

Dividend policy and corporate governance in Saudi stock market: Outcome model or substitute model?

Theories suggest that corporate governance mechanisms affect corporate dividend policies. This study extends and tests the implications of two extant static agency models making opposite predictions. The outcome model predicts an increase in dividends when the corporate governance mechanisms improve, because shareholders are better able to force managers to disgorge cash. In contrast, the substitute model suggests that an improvement in the corporate governance mechanisms reduces the role of dividends in controlling agency costs, leading to a decrease in dividends. This paper investigates the dividend policy for firms listed on Saudi Arabia Stock Exchange. This is a case study of Saudi Stock Market, where the determinants of dividend policy have received little attention. This study use a panel dataset of non-financial firms listed on Saudi Arabia Stock Exchange between the years of 2007 and 2010. Based on a panel of 366 firm year observations of 99 Saudi firms, we provide evidence in outcome model or substitute model with ownership structure, board structure and debt policy. Three Tobit models are specified: In the first, we construct a governance index based on eight criteria: seven criteria which capture various aspects of a firm’s structure, policies and practices that constitute good governance and a criterion that examines the company’s compliance with Shariah law in all its activities. Therefore, we estimate the effect of corporate governance on dividend policy in the first model. In the second, we investigate how dividends interact with corporate governance mechanisms in a panel of data. We explore the relation between dividends and ownership structure (ownership concentration and managerial ownership), board structure (board size, Board independence and Chairman-CEO duality) and debt policy. In the final, another test of the substitute and the outcome models is built on the Jensen (1986) free cash flow theory, which states that dividend policy can extract surplus cash from management control by reducing free cash flow. In this third model, we examine how corporate governance improvements affect the dividends’ sensitivity to free cash flows by focusing on the coefficients on the interactive variables of the ownership structure, board structure, debt policy and the free cash flow. For the three models, we divide sample in two subsamples and we compare the results obtained by using criteria of company’s compliance with Shariah law. For the effects of corporate governance (measured by corporate governance score) on dividend levels, we find that dividend policy is a substitute model for good governance for all Saudi Arabia firms. When we select only Shariah compliant firms, results indicate also that dividend policy is a substitute model for good governance but results are insignificant. When we select only Non-Shariah compliant firms, results indicate the same conclusion. We find that governance is associated with fewer dividends, supporting the substitute model and indicating the influence of good governance by forcing less cash to be returned to investors. For the effects of corporate governance mechanisms on dividend levels, we find that the only variable affect the dividend levels for Non-Shariah compliant firms is the separation in the functions of chairman and of CEO supporting the substitute model. For Shariah compliant firms, dividend policy is an outcome for the separation in the functions of chairman and of CEO, and ownership concentration. Governance through the separation in the functions of chairman and of CEO and ownership concentration influences firms by forcing more cash to be returned to investors. For the effects of the corporate governance improvements on dividends’ sensitivity to free cash flow, our results support the substitute hypothesis for Shariah compliant firms regardless the board independence, board meeting, managerial ownership and debt. Improvements in these corporate governance mechanisms reduce firms’ need to force out the free cash flow through dividends. For Non-Shariah compliant firms, our results support the outcome model for managerial ownership and ownership concentration

EU External Governance: Regionalizing Multilevel Networks of Governance

European Union (EU) external governance is predisposed to strategic concerns of effectively strengthening security and maintaining stability in third countries. This is exemplified by a consequential use of a transgovernmental strategy leaning on connections for interdependent policy co-ordination in its inexorable good governance influence. This strategy reflects soft-partnership-based norms of horizontal cooperation that coordinate actors at various political levels in favour of regional security and national stability. Relying on multilevel governance, this article analyses the potentials of EU external governance in GLA region, which indicates that it is contingent on the domestic governance equilibrium. The analysis shows that EU considerations for regional stability and security ensue into horizontal multilevel governance networks. It is further evinced that this increases societal interactions incessantly allowing receptivity and implementation of good governance ideas. This appreciably, complements the salient hierarchical and bottom-up modes of governance conversely impelling robust EU leverage in the region.
