National health services performance

Agency : Ministry of Public Health, Afghanistan and the World Bank

The Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHU) and the IIHMR were awarded a contract by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to provide Monitoring and Technical Support to the Ministry of Public Health. The objectives of the project were: a) to provide an independent assessment of how NGOs and the MoPH are doing to improve the delivery of the basic package of health services (BPHS); b) to strengthen the capacity of the MoPH to evaluate service delivery so that they will be able to do it themselves in the future.
