Grant Description

The goal of USAID/Ethiopias Private Health Sector Program (PHSP) is to enable the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) and Regional Health Bureaus (RHBs) to effectively partner with private health providers to deliver public health services, while improving the quality and affordability of these services for Ethiopians.

Specifically, PHSP engagement with the private sector will realize improvements in service packages for HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), tuberculosis (TB), family planning (FP), and malaria.

PHSP will also enhance government oversight, strengthen public-private referral mechanisms, develop interventions to increase financing for the private health sector, and improve client education.

The program is designed to achieve the following results: (i) establishment of a supportive policy environment for the private health sector; (ii) enhancement of both geographic and financial access to packages of essential health services through the private sector; (iii) sustained improvements in the quality of these services; and (iv) increased demand for quality services by informed, proactive consumer populations.
