Resumen
Descripción
Government contracting of private
organizations is an increasingly common tool to meet the
growing demand for quality reproductive health care in
developing nations. This guide brings together information
about such contracting experiences in a way to serve the
practical needs of World Bank staff and their government
counterparts in developing countries interested in trying
contracting. Contracting is not a cure-all for ailing health
systems, and there exists relatively little systematic
evaluation of the contracting experience in developing
countries. Still, many in the field recognize the potential
of contracting as a powerful tool to improve reproductive
health care. This guide touches on some of the reasons why
governments go the contracting route. The guide is meant to
be used during the development of new projects or during the
supervision phase, and assumes that the reader: has
identified population and reproductive health as an issue
for the health sector in a particular country or region;
already has decided to include a reproductive health
component in the loan and wants to involve the private
sector actively in the project; is considering opportunities
for contracting out of reproductive health care; or is
looking for ideas and models for contracting.
