Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major issues related to the financing of family planning services in sub-Saharan Africa are addressed. The report is addressed to policy-makers and program managers in African government and donor agencies active in health and family planning fields, and is aimed to identify gaps in the information base that will need to facilitate policy and program change. A series of policy briefs highlighting key issues are presented. This document is divided into 5 chapters. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the extensive unmet need for family planning services in sub-Saharan Africa with literature review in financing, health care context and regional diversity. Chapter 2 illustrates the large and growing gap between the need of family planning services and the availability of donor and government funds in response to this need. Included in this chapter are family planning needs information, cost estimation, and existing government expenditures. Chapter 3 discusses the increase in service fees for users of public sector and nongovernmental organization outlets with an evaluation of system performance. Chapter 4 explains the strategy of encouraging greater use of commercial sector with emphasis on the commercial development sector involvement in family planning service delivery. Finally, chapter 5 examines the strategy of reducing the costs of family planning services which includes the mobilization of underutilized capacity, elimination of unnecessary medical barriers and the integration of family planning and other reproductive health services.

This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a clear and detailed examination of why it is so difficult to secure comprehensive political engagement and actionable, effective policy on sexual and reproductive health rights in sub-Saharan Africa. In an engaging analysis, Nana Poku employs expert knowledge to examine the prospects for large-scale improvements. He explores not only the full range of normative sensitivities, but also conceptual misunderstandings, legal difficulties and complex challenges of securing and maintaining adequate funding while AIDS remains a pandemic in the region. Up-to-date, succinct yet highly detailed, lucid and compelling in its diagnoses of highly complex issues, this book is a valuable, accessible study of a topic that is regional in focus but with clear global implications.

Book Synopsis Policies Affecting Fertility and Contraceptive Use by : Susan Scribner
Download or read book Policies Affecting Fertility and Contraceptive Use written by Susan Scribner and published by Washington, D.C. : World Bank. This book was released on 1995 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Technical Paper No. 272. Public examinations in developing countries play a critical role in the selection of students for participation in the educational system. The exams dictate what is taught, how it is taught, and what is and is not learned. They are academic, have little reference to the everyday lives of the students, are limited to pencil-and-paper tests, and are biased toward high-achievers. Thus, students who leave school at an early stage are provided with inadequate opportunities for acquiring relevant knowledge and skills. This study identifies practices associated with examinations that may create inequities for some students. These include scoring procedures, the use of culturally inappropriate questions, fee requirements, private tutoring, exams in a language unfamiliar to the student, and a variety of malpractices. Quota systems that deal with differences in performance associated with location, ethnicity, or language group membership also creates inequities for some students. The report concludes that the limited available evidence does not indicate that examinations create inequities between genders and that ranking schools on the basis of students' examination performance may not provide a fair assessment of the work of schools.

Book Synopsis Reproductive Health Financing in Kenya by : Estelle Sidze
Download or read book Reproductive Health Financing in Kenya written by Estelle Sidze and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the flow of resources at the country level to reproductive health is essential for effective financing of this key component of health. This paper gives a comprehensive picture of the allocation of resources for reproductive health in Kenya and the challenges faced in the resource-tracking process. Data are drawn from Kenyan budget estimates, reproductive health accounts, and the Resource Flows Project database and compare budgets and spending in 2005-06 with 2009-10. Despite policies and programmes in place since 1994, services for family planning, maternity care and infant and child health face serious challenges. As regards health financing, the government spends less than the average in sub-Saharan Africa, while donor assistance and out-of-pocket expenditure for health are high. Donor assistance to Kenya has increased over the years, but the percentage of funds devoted to reproductive health is lower than it was in 2005. We recommend an increase in the budget and spending for reproductive health in order to achieve MDG targets on maternal mortality and universal access to reproductive health in Kenya. Safety nets for the poor are also needed to reduce the burden of spending by households. Lastly, we recommend the generation of more comprehensive reproductive health accounts on a regular basis.
Book Synopsis The Value of Family Planning Programs in Developing Countries by : Rodolfo A. Bulatao
Download or read book The Value of Family Planning Programs in Developing Countries written by Rodolfo A. Bulatao and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1998 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family planning programs have been highly successful over the past 30 years in providing women in developing countries with desired access to contraceptive services and helping to reduce fertility rates. Notwithstanding this success, there is still an urgent need for these programs. The world's population is increasing, with annual population growth still approximately 80 million people. Nearly all of this growth is occurring in developing nations, where fertility rates remain relatively high. This high fertility runs counter to the preferences expressed by millions of women, who actually want to have smaller families. Family planning programs are also desirable because they are associated with a range of other benefits, most notably improvements in women's and children's health. Host countries provide about 60 to 75 percent of funding for family planning. However, funding and technical assistance from donor nations, especially the United States, have been crucial to the past success of family planning programs and are equally important for strengthening and expanding program efforts to meet future challenges.

Book Synopsis Women's Health in Africa by : Chimaraoke Izugbara
Download or read book Women's Health in Africa written by Chimaraoke Izugbara and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book includes new policy-relevant research on women’s health issues in Africa. Scholars explore critical topics from different disciplinary traditions using a variety of research methodologies and data sources. The contributors include African scholars with in-depth knowledge of their home contexts, who can furnish nuanced interpretations of local health issues and trends; international researchers who bring vigorous comparative viewpoints; emerging scholars adding to scientific knowledge; and more established researchers with a deep global knowledge of women’s health issues. The range of women’s health issues is vast, including the HIV epidemic and its impacts; domestic violence; the persistence of homebirths; and abortion. In addition, the book investigates emerging health concerns such as CVDs and cancers. Readers will learn that, while old health issues have persisted and assumed new dimensions, newer concerns have materialized and are gaining momentum. The inability of health systems to tackle these issues complicates matters in Africa, creating a sense of desperation that can only be successfully confronted through strong political will and strategic planning, grounded in further research. This book was originally published as several special issues of Health Care for Women International.
