Sub-Contract for technical assistance to m4h [for KfW Social Health Insurance Project] through PDI, UK
SUB-CONTRACTED WITH PROGRESSIVE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE
Mar 2023 - to present
While YRH had been providing services directly to management4health of Germany (see below) for the KfW (Germany Development Bank) funded project on Social Health Insurance, Progressive Development Initiative was given the contract for the same services by m4h for the period Mar 2023 onwards. However, with the extensive experience of YRH in the area, YRH was successful in securing a sub-contract from Progressive Development Initiative for more than 90% of the work that m4h sourced. We continue to provide similar services to Social Health Insurance project via our contracting firm in the areas of Monitoring and Evaluation of health service providers. The work currently has progressed into implementation phase where we analyse data and develop reports and provide technical recommendations for enhancing the capacity and performance.
