Download or read book Reproducing Inequities written by M. Catherine Maternowska and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residents of Haiti face a grim reality of starvation, violence, lack of economic opportunity, and minimal health care. For years, aid organizations have unsuccessfully attempted to alleviate the problems by creating health and family planning centers, including one modern (and, by local standards, luxurious) clinic of Cité Soleil. In Reproducing Inequities, M. Catherine Maternowska argues that we too easily overlook the political dynamics that shape choices about family planning. Through a detailed study of the attempt to provide modern contraception in the community of Cité Soleil, Maternowska demonstrates the complex interplay between local and global politics that so often thwarts well-intended policy initiatives.
Download or read book Strategic Contracting for Health Systems and Services written by Eric de Roodenbeke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the start of the new century, efforts to strengthen health systems focused solely on the public sector and health programs overseen by public bodies. The private sector was sidelined in certain countries and even banned in others. At the same time, some private-sector stakeholders readily adapted themselves to this special situation so as to avoid becoming part of a structured health system.This volume notes profound changes in health care around the world in two areas. The stakeholders involved in the health sector are increasing in number and diversifying as a result of the development of the private sector. They are also responding to a process of democratization and decentralization. These developments have been paralleled by greater functional differentiation. Various stakeholders are increasingly specializing in particular areas of the health system: service delivery, procurement, management, financing, and regulation.The interdependence of health stakeholders becomes more evident along with the increased complexity of delivery systems as these respond to changing demand. There is a compelling need to forge relationships. Such relationships are in fact emerging in developed countries and, more recently, in developing countries. They may be informal, but are increasingly organized and structured.
Download or read book La contractualisation dans les syst mes de sant written by Jean Perrot and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2005 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La démarche contractuelle est nouvelle dans les systèmes de santé, notamment dans les pays en développement. La multiplication et la diversification mais aussi la spécialisation des acteurs travaillant dans le domaine de la santé impliquent des relations entre eux qu'il faut organiser: la contractualisation le permet. Dans un mouvement accru en faveur de la déconcentration, les acteurs publics ne peuvent plus fonctionner en effet sur un mode hiérarchique alors que la gouvernance est au cœur des préoccupations. La contractualisation leur apporte des possibilités multiples, soit pour mieux collaborer entre eux, soit pour mieux exécuter leurs missions. Ces données montrent l'importance du champ de la contractualisation que ce livre parcoure en offrant aux lecteurs une double entrée : par la démarche et par les acteurs. Les deux premières parties sont consacrées à la présentation des concepts mais aussi des outils et des processus permettant la conception et la mise en œuvre d'une politique de contractualisation. La troisième partie détaille, pour chaque type d'acteurs, les possibilités apportées par la démarche contractuelle. Une dernière partie apporte la contribution de différentes approches pour analyser la contractualisation. Le message principal de cet ouvrage est que la contractualisation, lorsqu'elle est correctement utilisée, peut être un outil efficace pour améliorer la performance des systèmes de santé. Si la démarche contractuelle est applicable dans tous les pays, les auteurs accordent une importance particulière à la situation des pays en développement où la faiblesse des ressources et de la gouvernance donne une teneur particulière aux recommandations qui peuvent être faites.
Download or read book Togo written by International Monetary Fund. African Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-07-23 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper highlights that Togo’s Strategy for Boosting Growth and Promoting Employment offers a medium-term development framework for implementing the Government’s General Policy Statement, the Millennium Development Goals, and the Government’s vision for making Togo an emerging economy in 15 to 20 years, as well as making it a country that respects human rights and promotes the rule of law. The return of political stability and peace to the country created a favorable environment for better governance, resumption of international assistance, and significant reduction in exterior public debt. The Government’s medium-term economic policy for 2013–2017 will essentially be used to build and consolidate the foundations for Togo’s future economic emergence. The focus will be on new priorities: boosting growth; employment and inclusion; strengthening governance; and reducing regional disparities and promoting grassroots development. Designing a national land-use plan will territorialize development by creating a more balanced national economic space. The new land-use scheme will be based on dynamic, competitive, regional economies in which the urbanization of regional capitals and secondary towns is sufficiently controlled to allow true development hubs to emerge.
Download or read book Health and the Millennium Development Goals written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2005 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report, Health and the Millennium Development Goals, presents data on progress on the health goals and targets and looks beyond the numbers to analyze why improvements in health have been slow and to suggest what must be done to change this. The report points to weak and inequitable health systems as a key obstacle, including particularly a crisis in health personnel and the urgent need for sustainable health financing. Building up and strengthening health systems is vital if more progress is to be made towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a new report. Unless urgent investments are made in health systems, current rates of progress will not be sufficient to meet most of the Goals.Key Recommendations of Health in the Millennium Development Goals: To strengthen health systems and ensure they are equitable, to ensure that health is prioritized within overall development and economic policies, to develop health strategies that respond to the diverse and evolving needs of countries, to mobilize needed resources for health in poor countries, and to improve the quality of health data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under its Health in Africa Initiative, IFC intended to conduct a country assessment of the private health sector in Mali, working in close collaboration with the World Bank and the Government of Mali. The Core objective of the Mali Country Assessment Report was to work closely with the Government of Mali and Development partners to develop recommendations for a reform program to strengthen the existing policy framework for the public-private interface in the health sector and to improve the delivery of health related goods and services for all Malians. As part of this, the purpose of the book was to: • Determine the role the private sector currently plays in Mali’s health care system. • Present a diagnose of the nature and effectiveness of the existing interface between the public and private sectors in Mali, health system constraints, as well as the business enabling and investment environment. • Assist the World Bank Group to engage in policy dialogue with stakeholders in Mali’s health care system, and particularly with public officials and policy makers; and help develop detailed recommendations for the Government of Mali with policy makers and key stakeholders.

Download or read book Am liorer la couverture effective en mati re de sant written by Damien de Walque and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2022-10-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans de nombreux pays à faible revenu et à revenu intermédiaire, la couverture sanitaire s’est considérablement améliorée au cours des deux dernières décennies, mais pas les résultats en matière de santé. Ainsi, la couverture effective — une mesure de la prestation de services qui répond à une norme minimale de qualité — demeure à un niveau inacceptable. Le rapport Améliorer la couverture effective en matière de santé examine une approche particulière visant à améliorer la couverture effective : les incitations financières sous la forme d’un financement basé sur la performance (FBP), une réforme globale qui comprend généralement la rémunération liée à la performance pour les agents de santé de première ligne ainsi que l’autonomie des établissements, la transparence et l’engagement communautaire. Ce rapport de recherche s’appuie sur un vaste ensemble d’études rigoureuses et de nouvelles analyses. Par rapport au statu quo, dans les pays à faible revenu dotés de systèmes de santé centralisés, le FBP peut entraîner des gains substantiels en matière de couverture effective. Toutefois, les avantages relatifs du FBP — la composante rémunération liée à la performance en particulier — sont moins clairs lorsqu’il est comparé à deux autres approches, à savoir : le financement direct des établissements, qui permet d’octroyer des budgets de fonctionnement aux services de santé de première ligne en accordant aux établissements l’autonomie en matière d’allocations budgétaires, mais sans rémunération liée à la performance ; et le soutien financier lié à la demande pour les services de santé (c’est-à -dire les transferts monétaires conditionnels et les vouchers). Bien que le FBP se traduise souvent par des améliorations marginales, combler les lacunes importantes de la couverture sanitaire effective n’est pas encore à la portée de nombreux pays. Néanmoins, d’importantes leçons et expériences tirées de la mise en oeuvre du FBP au cours de la dernière décennie peuvent orienter le financement de la santé à l’avenir. En particulier, pour réussir, la réforme du financement de la santé devra sans doute moins se focaliser sur la rémunération à la performance tout en conservant les éléments de financement direct des établissements, l’autonomie, la transparence et l’engagement communautaire.

Download or read book Africa s Population In Search of a Demographic Dividend written by Hans Groth and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the promises as well as the challenges the demographic dividend brings to sub-Saharan Africa as fertility rates in the region fall and the labor force grows. It offers a detailed analysis of what conditions must be met in order for the region to take full economic advantage of ongoing population dynamics. As the book makes clear, the region will need to accelerate reforms to cope with its demographic transition, in particular the decline of fertility. The continent will need to foster human capital formation through renewed efforts in the areas of education, health and employment. This will entail a true vision and determination on the part of African leaders and their development partners. The book will help readers to gain solid knowledge of the demographic trends and provide insights into socioeconomic policies that eventually might lead sub-Saharan Africa into a successful future.
