The “Red Report” and Key Findings
4
Jan – Dec 2008Initial Preparation Phase
Jan 2009 OnwardsImplementationResearch & Analysis, Policy Advice, Debt & Equity Financing
Report dissemination, fundraising formation of joint IFC-World Bank Team based in Nairobi, Kenya and Washington DC
The Business of Health In Africa Report published and strategy presented to the Board
Dec 2007Scoping Study & Strategy Development
IFC and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation formulate partnership
Dec 2005 – August 2006Formulate Partnership
We are approximately three years into a five year program
Key Findings 60% of health care in SSA is financed by private sources 50% of health care in SSA is provided by private sector The private sector serves all segments of the population Government constraints means the private sector will
continue to play an important role in the medium term Investment demand is expected to be $25-30 billion over
the next ten years Most investments in the private sector will be in SMEs The role and potential of the private sector is not well
understood. It is ignored by governments and donors alike
IFC’s Strategy to the Board Use IFC’s core competencies; apply market principles Work with local businesses, financial intermediaries, and
policy makers plus the international community Comprises: i) Investment, including an equity vehicle;
increasing availability of long-term debt; and increased focus on life sciences; ii) advisory services to complement the Bank’s work with governments; iii) health worker education; and (iv) risk pooling
Aspiration of investingUS$1 billion over 5 years

Constraints to Private Sector Participation and HiA’s role in addressing the issues
Increase Access to Capital
Improve Regulatory Environment
Promote Risk Pooling Vehicles
Alleviate the human resources shortage
Limited access to capital, including both debt and equity, is a significant constraint to growth and a driver of sector fragmentation
The regulatory environment often impedes growth of the private healthcare sector in many SSA nations
Risk pooling vehicles are superior financing mechanisms to out-of-pocket payments and can help mobilize revenue for providers, supporting the growth of a formal, organized private sector
Though the private sector receives most of its revenue from the general population, the public sector, international donors, and employers are alternative sources of funds
Increase Revenue Flows from
Alternative Sources
Short supply of skilled health workers and healthcare managers has an adverse impact on the potential for healthy, sustained private sector growth
The investment strategy of the WBG’s Health in Africa Initiative addresses the need to increase capital for private sector entrepreneurs
The policy and analysis strategy of the WBG’s Health in Africa Initiative proposes advocacy and technical assistance mechanisms to address the other major challenges faced by the private sector in SSA
