| Summary: | This role of faith-inspired health care
providers in sub-saharan Africa and public-private
partnerships is comprised of a three volume series on
strengthening the evidence for faith inspired engagement in
health in sub-Saharan Africa. An increasing level of
interest in the role of faith in development has generated
much debate and dialogue at the international and national
levels over the last decade. Despite difficulties in
communication and differences in cultures within such
debates, there has been a continued reaffirmation of the
potential benefits that faith-inspired communities can bring
towards efforts to achieve the millennium development goals
(MDGs), especially in the areas of health. This series
focuses on assessing the role and market share of
faith-inspired providers and on assessing the extent to
which they are involved in and benefit from public-private
partnerships. The purpose of this series of three HNP
discussion papers is to round up various analytical
perspectives and emerging research on faith engagement in
health in Africa from a range of researchers and
practitioners from the north as well as the south. The
series is structured into three volumes: a first volume on
the role and market share of faith-inspired providers and
public-private partnerships, a second on satisfaction and
the comparative nature of faith-inspired health provision,
and the third on mapping of faith inspired provision and the
extent to which faith-inspired providers reach to the poor. |
