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, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to provide Monitoring and Technical Support to the Ministry of Public Health from April 1, 2008 to January 31, 2009.

The objectives of the project were: a) to provide an independent assessment of how NGOs and the MoPH are doing in improving 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.
