Current Climate Prospects in Africa for Public-Private Partnerships in Health
The Abt Associates-led PSP-One project co-sponsored a workshop with the World Health Organization's Department of Reproductive Health and Research (WHO/RHR) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia May 7 – 10, 2008. Entitled "Network for Africa: Building Public-Private Linkages to Advance Priority Health Services," the four-day workshop aimed to develop national capacity to design and manage partnerships with private sector stakeholders to address reproductive health/family planning and HIV/AIDS-related health challenges. Participating countries included Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda. The workshop curriculum was based on a World Bank Institute course on public policy for the private sector, which was revised for the Africa context and updated to reflect current trends in private sector provision of health. The following is a presentation on the current climate for Public Private Partnerships in Health in Africa by Barry Kistnasamy, MBChB, MMed Nelson Mandela School of Medicine University of Kwazulu-Natal .
