AGAKHAN FOUNDATION

Project background:

Education for Marginalized Children in Kenya (EMACK) is an initiative of the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development. EMACK II Extension phase, which commenced in October 2010 and is expected to end in October 2014, focuses on improved learning outcomes for all children in 767 targeted schools.

Of this number, 129 schools [both pre-schools and primary schools] are classified as Non-Formal Schools [NFS] located in the informal settlements of Nairobi and Mombasa.

During this extension phase, EMACK will work with local government authorities, MOE and local NGOs/CBOs to improve the quality of learning in schools in the informal settlements by demonstrating effective and clearly defined implementation approaches and strategies for sustainability for these marginalized communities.

Kenya Health Licensing and Registration Process Re-Engineering

ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION

The private sector in Kenya provides more than half of health services. It employs the majority of skilled health personnel and owns two thirds of health facilities. However the quality of services is uneven potentially jeopardizing patient safety.

In 2009-2010 IFC and USAID conducted analytical work and organized a process of dialogue

between the private and public sectors that resulted in an agreed agenda of reforms aimed at harnessing the private sector for the improvement of health in Kenya.

One of the key areas of reform agreed during the dialogue process was the streamlining of licensing and registration processes of health professionals and health facilities.
