The World Bank - Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) in Belize

Since 2015, AIDInc has been commissioned by the World Bank and Government of Belize to conduct an Assessment of the National Health Insurance Pay for Performance (P4P) programme and deliver policy recommendations for sustainability and national scalability. The initiative is being co-led by Sarah Adomakoh, AIDInc UK principal consultant and executive director and Roger England, health systems expert. Sarah is leading the technical support to identify and address health information system gaps, structural issues and pitfalls in collection and monitoring processes, in order to improve overall tracking and evaluation of outcomes.

AIDInc Combats Stigma and Discrimination and builds resources and partnerships for sustainability

AIDInc successfully implemented a first of its kind 3 -year DfID Contract to combat Stigma & Discrimination in the Caribbean Region. This project was deemed high risk and first ever to adopt a regional human rights evidence-based approach to reducing stigma and discrimination in all forms towards vulnerable and marginalized groups. At the same-time the project established and piloted a tripartite oversight and supportive ecosystem structure for fostering implementation and long-term sustainability, in the form of a regional stigma and discrimination unit (PANCAP-RSDU) situated in Barbados and coordinated through the HIV technical unit (PANCAP) of the CARICOM Government - in Guyana.

__________________________________

Not withstanding several obstacles and bottlenecks, at project end, 3.5 years later, significant capacity and voice was built among civil society, in particular, marginalised communities - empowering them to meaningfully lead national anti - stigma and human rights initiatives, underpinned by strong horizontal and vertical partnerships, i.e. with National AIDS programmes faith leaders, media and youth organisations. Beyond the project, a number of resources and tools are available, adapted and used by community groups to continue to target and empower vulnerable groups and reduce human rights violations enacted towards them.
