Financing Mechanisms to Mobilize the Private Health Sector
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 financing mechanisms by Allison Gamble Kelley, of O'Hanlon Consulting.

Understanding Mosquito Net Use at the Household Level
Malaria prevention efforts promoting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) often assume that if a household gets a mosquito net, that net will actually be used and that those most vulnerable—children under five and pregnant women—will sleep under it. To date, there has been little data on the use of nets/ITNs within the household, and whether programs need to adjust their communication strategies to make sure nets are used and that the most vulnerable sleep under them. And little has been documented about other aspects of household net use that would be useful for planning and assessing ITN programs. The NetMark project of the Academy for Educational Development (AED) conducted household surveys in Nigeria, Senegal, and Zambia in 2000, and again in 2004 in those countries plus Ghana and Ethiopia.
