Our Challenge Providers development depends mainly on Donors Providers are not really convinced about the win-win aspect of the partnership of PSI-Madagascar Lack of an overview about the others health services requested by targeted population Social franchise providers do not have a concrete idea about their profitability and financial performance
Banyan Global Approach Brokering loan with local financial institutions Identifying investment needs for facility improvement Strengthening basic accounting and financial management skills Individual coaching and technical assistance
Explore community-based financing scheme to help targeted populations access the health services offered by social franchise providers Targeted populations are poor Reinforce individual assistance to help providers understand and plan their investment needs Providers are risk averse Explore alternative models such as a loan fund or a mutual guarantee to facilitate local financing for social franchise providers Financial institutions have low knowledge about private health sector Learning and adapting
Win-win partnership Ensure/facilitate the implementation of a quality standard designed by the program Providers can offer improved health services for antenatal care and MCH Provide incentives to continue being part of the PSI social franchise network Contribute to positive branding for the social franchises network
