Project Description

Following an earlier study, the project develops funding for 1) investing in private companies operating in Africa’s health care sector; 2) providing expertise and resources to help governments with policies for private health care sectors; 3) advising socially responsible private organizations and financial intermediaries involved in health care; and 4) investigating how to make financing more readily available to social enterprises or nonprofits. The objective is to highlight the important role the private sector already plays, and to increase access to health-related goods and services in Sub-Saharan Africa.
