Project Description
The project is a subcomponent of another project ((#564988) and builds on
earlier work (#561809) to address market failures in Sub-Saharan Africa.
It is a partnership effort of IFC's Health and Education Department,
Corporate Investment Committee, and Private Enterprise Partnership for
Africa. Objectives include: 1) completing private health sector
assessments and stakeholder engagement processes, with the aim of
developing policy reform and investment projects in Burkina Faso, Uganda,
Congo, and Rwanda; 2) developing a policy guidebook (practical advice,
examples, and case studies on how the private sector can play a role in
achieving national health goals) to help equip African policy makers with
the tools necessary to engage the private sector; 3) publishing policy
notes on private sector engagement, and in-depth studies on the role of
the private sector in health worker education and insurance; 4) publishing
and disseminating the Flagship Report; and 5) completing market studies in
a further two or three countries yet to be identified.
