The International conference on "Health systems financing in low-

ment (CERDI-University of Auvergne, France). This conference aims at
bringing together national and international specialists coming from
different origins and countries (governments, universities, research
fellows, international organizations and aid agencies, public and
private insurance establishments, health practitioners, etc.) to
share conceptual, empirical and policy analysis - using various ap-
proaches (quantitative, institutional,...) - as well as experiences
concerning a broad spectrum of questions raised by the financing of
health systems in African and Asian low-income countries.
Proposals can focus on the issues suggested below but we welcome sub-
